Hi Thomas and welcome. The best place to look for compatibility issues is always the motherboard's website. Most motherboard makers maintain a list of compatible CPUs and RAM.
See ECS Web Site - CPU Support List - P4M800PRO-M

hi there i found that page lol...i take it no then...is it because them are 65nms and the E7500 is 45 nm?

That's probably part of it - since they are difference architectures, the chipset may not be programmed to support the newer processors.
