    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

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