The model cpus that the board does and doesn't support at listed at MSI. http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=655&kind=1 There is a good number of "NOs"! to that question unfortunately.
Whenever you are unsure about what a board will support the best place for information is right at either the manufacturer's site or a good vendor's where you can look over specifications on the model chosen. Usually the manufacturer first since other things like the brands and types of memory, video and sound cards, etc. are found somewhere on one of their pages. Someone simply selling hardwares is not always too well informed. They are out to basically sell their inventory for the profits.
Do you think its worth upgrading to this?

You would notice a performance increase. Is it worth it? Well, yes and no. Though if you do not want to spend money on a whole new computer then that option is a nice little upgrade.
Bud, I upgraded my P4 2.4 to a P4 3.0+HT and it made a pretty good difference. In your case, I wouldn't be surprised it makes a huge difference.
Games play different (loading screens are faster and animated differently) and applications work faster as well (printing used to slow down my Windows Player, now I do both without issues).
I totally recommend it.

If a 3.2ghz P4 will run on it the P4 3ghz model will as well. The cpu support overview from the manufacturer was posted earlier. There wouldn't ba any problem going with the model picked out. A little Artic Silver 5 will along it good with the upgrade.
It's the first response on the thread. That was direct from the manufacturer's overview page there. The specifications page on the model there didn't specify one way or the other. But that's seen on many board where you have to go their overview to see what support a board offers. The problem there is that vendors will list the specs but not the overview.
