Yes you can, as long as the CPU runs at 533/800/1066MHz FSB. (Which most of the new Socket 775's do). You will be fine.. As a add on, this is one hell of a nice board.. Great choice :)
Hope this helps
be safe

An AM2 Socket is a type of socket used by a Processor on a motherboard. These are AMD processors, as indicated by the "AM". When you buy a motherboard and processor you must make sure that they have the same socket and that your motherboard supports the processor you have chosen. For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_AM2
Depends on what processor you're using. Go to the manufacturer's site and find the product, it should tell you the socket that the processor requires. Any motherboard with that socket will be compatible
Many processors will not work on a Socket 7 motherboard. Providing a full list of every processor that is notcompatible with a Socket 7 board would be impossible.
The processor socket is both a technical convention and functional component. As a convention Socket # such as 775 and 1150 regard motherboard chip type compatibility. The functional aspects of the socket serve as the electrical interface between the motherboard (and its peripherals) to the processor itself.
processor must be compatible with socket on motherboard
Correct.
p4 processor is used in socket pga478 motherboard.
Processors don't connect to a motherboard, there are installed in a socket. What determines if a processor is compatible is the type of processor... PGA(AMD most of the time) or LGA(Intel) and the ammount of pins that are on the motherboard/processor.

It should say on the processor tray on the actual motherboard itself.
"Socket" is what you call the frame the processor is seated on. There's "socket A processors" for example, maybe that is what you mean. They perform the same task as any other processor, they just happen to fit on a normed socket called "socket A". A socket has no processor of its own, it just connects the CPU to the motherboard.
