Does anyone know if the current Intel 865PE or SIS chipsets we have support the Intel Prescott P4's coming out in 2004? The new P4's have 1MB of cache, improved hyperthreading, is pin compatible, and start at 3.6 Ghz. They also run a bit hotter!

I already have a notebook on order with the SiS 648FX chipset and would hate to cancel and wait another month! I order the lowest end P4 2.4ghz chip to swap out as soon as this comes out.
