Just wondering if any of the Prescotts will fit on the current 875 boards.

They will fit on the current boards, but the problem is the current boards can't feed the current needed to the chip. It will be a Socket 478, but require more current than the boards can supply.

I've almost always used Asus motherboards in the past and have been very happy with them. When I heard about this board I jumped on it because all of the advanced features. It cost a lot more than others but IMO it's worth the extra $$$.
