I do not think it matters in this case. All Prescotts should work with the Asus PTGD(1)-LA, both 32bit and 64 bit versions and both with and without virtualization technology.
But only up to 3.6GHz is officially supported. No Cedarmills will work.
The exact CPUs I tried was the Pentium 4 570J SL82U (E0) and the Pentium 4 670 SL7Z3 (N0) and both worked. I think the reason for them not beeing officially supported is their power draw which could make the VRMs overheat. I did not have any stability issues with my boards and the VRMs did at least survive some stability testing.
Other CPUs I know work for sure, the Pentium 4 640 and the Pentium 4 550 as they were the original CPUs for my boards.
I have a third Asus PTGD(1)-LA board now but I have not even checked what model of Prescott if came with yet.
