I have a P4PE motherboard what is the fastest processor supported by this
board? Can it support Prescott CPU?

The cpusupport web page does not appear to be working properly
right now. Fortunately, to answer your question, there is this
page - install an up-to-date BIOS before changing the processor.

Note that only one double sided DIMM can be run this way,
at PC3200. Either get yourself a 512MB double sided module
or perhaps a 1GB would work. If 1GB, make sure it uses
64Mx8 chips and not 128Mx4 chips (128Mx4 is called high
density). The DIMMs based on 128Mx4 chips are cheaper, but
should be avoided. Major brand name memory supplies will
only use 64Mx8 on their unbuffered DDR DIMMs. Generics
will use the cheapest chip they can find.

You may have to look around a bit to find a Northwood (512KB
cache 0.13u FSB800) processor, but pricewatch.com CPU section
is a good place to start. Powerleap.com also carries the
older processors.

No it cannot use the Prescott. It can use up to the 3.06 GHz Northwood 533
MHz FSB processor. I have the P4PE and that processor. And, no, Intel no
longer manufactures that CPU.
