Intel D915PBL question

I've been doing some research and I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with either that board, D915PBL, or the chipset in general.

Im curious if i'll be able to using a newer/cooler Ceder Mill Core P4 on it or if im stuck using the hotter Prescotts.. both chips are LGA775
