Yes it will, chances are you will need a bios update. I have found most boards do not have any problems at all. The Prescott has enhanced CPUID changes that enable the new PNI instruction set. More values are returned than expected.
I will be running my benchmarks on a P4C800 Deluxe, GEIL PC3700 DC DDR kit, Enermax 651w PSU, Intel P4 Prescott 2.8 ES, and ATI Radeon 9800XT.

I was posting benchmarks when site went down, gonna need a few minutes to get back home and paste the links.

2K3 does not want to publish 1 of 2 benchmarks, the overclocked one works and default w/ stepping 1 doesnt.
