The motherboard i have is a fujitsu siemans GA-81848PM The chipset is an intel i865PE.
I hope this helps.It has a 478mPGA socket

Ok.
Looks like your close to your limit with your 3.2g.The fastest P4 processers available are 3.4g extreme edition.Very expensive (around £180 second hand),so with a view to future upgrades a new m/b might be the best way forward.
