I wouldn't be surprised if your new Asus Board didn't support the prescott. I bought an Iwill kk266+ Board and clearly on the box it stated it supports current and future Athlon Xps. Pure BS. The board supported (or ran) nothing higher than a 1900+. I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy and could care less for those of you who bought your new, pristine 875 boards only to have them not support a processor available 6-8 months down the road for $800 a piece in batches of 1000.
In fact you should be thankful your 875/865 boards won't work with the prescott. Your current board won't work with it so you'll need a new board + processor. This will give you a perfect excuse to indulge in some Hammer goodness!
