The max your motherboard will take is 1.1 P3 or Celeron.

No, Intel modified the i815 chipset for the tualatin. It is a revamped P3, but it uses a different pin grid array. The ASUS TUSL2 and TUSL2-C are the Asus boards based on this modified chipset. However... certain problems with divder really kinda hamper these boards. If you're looking to go with a Tuallie, I'd recommend the Abit ST6... it's the same modified chipset with better OCing options.
