I agree, boards i have seen have been stock made stuff, not even
re-engineered bios's (say like Dell)

I cannot see why a p2-400 m/b cannot have a p3-550 chip fitted off hand. The
make of board needs to be identified and a bios flash maybe needed that is
probably all.

If your that worroed replace the board at the same time, I would be
surprised if it isnt a stock ATX one
