Precott in 8KNXP (rev1.0)

Does anyone know if a 3.0 gig Prescott will work in an 8KNXP (rev1.0)
with an F10 bios update?

Thanks,

P4-3.0E/800/1m (Prescott, .09u) right now, 40C/104F, watching a movie,
42C/108F, playing Far Cry 46-47C/112-119F CPU Core=1.40v

And I might try to swap this back for the Northwood, 3.00/800/512k, same
price.

If your ambient is at or near 20C then I would leave temps like that alone.
Stick with it thats a good setup if the 40C is real.
