Comment:
I wanted to know if the 915p platform has more than just one motherboard that supports socket 478.

The 915p's don't support socket 478, they only support LGA 775 sockets.
The 915 will support any Lga 775 processors...
Celeron D Celeron D 64bit Pentium 4 5xx Pentium 4 5x1* 64bit (1mb cache) Pentium 4 6xx 64bit (2mb cache)
The 915 will not support any the following LGA 775 processors.
Pentium 4 EE (925x only) Pentium 4 EE 64bit (955x only) Pentium D (945/955x)

Because it's a typo. there is no way a 478 pin can fit on a 775 pin socket. They are 2 diff configs altogether.
If you do a google search you will see that there is no such thing as a 915 chipset backwards compatible with any 478 pin.

Then it's marked wrong as a 915p. If it is a socket 478 motherboard then that's what it is. There is no such thing as an 478 915p, they are all LGA 775 915p.

Well i can't considering you didn't give me the motherboard model, but even if I do see it that board is a 478 only not a 478/915 board. there is too much of a pin diff to make it compatible with one another.
That would like like saying a Socket A Athlon XP 3200+ is compatible with a 754 Athlon 64 board.

Add the ASRock P4Dual-915GL to the list (http://www.asrock.com/product/P4Dual-915GL.htm), it is available from many vendors in North America.
