| Are P4 Prescott CPUs compatible with non-Prescott motherboard. Or do I have to buy a new one? |

What's your mobo model?
You need chipsets that support Prescott, with maybe just a bios upgrade, but it's unlikely.
Usually you have to buy a new one, because older Northwood mobos weren't supposed to work with Prescott cpus. Like P3 Coppermine and Tualatin cores. |
