Is it socket >LGA775 also? family 15 model 2 is northwood based. no amd64. the best option for that one is to find a cheap second hand box with a CPU that's only 10 years old instead of (literally) 20 years old and retire it; those old p4's were really power hungry, and it shouldn't be hard to find a replacement for a cost (maybe even free) that will pay for itself in electricity savings alone.
