Well, according to Dell's site, it's a P4, possibly with HT. What do you plan on doing with it?

EDIT: It is 775 because of the 945G. But the question remains, what do you plan on doing with it? I wouldn't spend a whole lot on a LGA775 board, it's a dead end socket. Do you need PCIe? Do you need onboard video? All things we need to know

Esp since a P4 is about as crappy as 775 socket CPU's can get. This does indeed seem odd.

There ya go.

You'd probably do better on ebay though. FDII is right though, that P4 has been superceded 5 fold in the past 5 years.
