I'm considering building a microATX system. The mobos all say they require mPGA478 processors. My question is: Is there a difference between mPGA478 and Socket 478? Ultimately I would like to run a p4 2.8G on an Intel microATX 845GE. Any input would be very helpful.

Nope, they mean the standard Socket478. Socket 478 is an mPGA form factor to begin with, look how small the socket is!
