Is there a desktop MoBo that can run a CPU requiring socket P out there?

I am piecing together a Frankenstein PC out of old parts and I was wondering if there are any desktop motherboards that will accept my old laptop CPU that requires Socket-P. I've checked around but I keep getting just laptop MoBos which I don't want. Thanks!

They actually do exist, but good luck finding one, at this point. They were rare to begin with, and are basically unicorns, now. Ebay is probably your only option.

Also, even though it's a 478 pin CPU, it isn't electrically compatible with Socket 478, as nooneisback hinted at. So no-go with most boards you're likely to find.
