P4 is gonna be a socket 478 (or something like that)
I'm happy with the Asus board I've got (check the sig). FSB settings can be changed by single mhz, should be good for overclocking, but I haven't gotten much into that yet. Went from 100 fsb to 106, and my stupid Sounblaster 16 card started crapping out. I supposed it's time for a better sound card. I think you can lock the PCI speeds as well with this board, but I haven't tried that yet either.
Anyway, the board is rock solid, folds 24/7.

The 1.4 could either be a 478 or a 423. Depends on the number of pins it has. You can tell the difference by the amount of the "green board" that comes from underneath the heatspreader. Is it only about 2-3 mm it would indicate a 478, if it is more, it would be a 423.
If I were you I'd go for a DDR board this time around. The SDRAM is slooooooooooow. If you intend to keep the SDRAM because of money, I'd suggest keeping the board for the time being as well, and upgrade both memory and board at the same time.
One last point to keep in mind. The 1.4 is based on a Willamette core. This means you won't be able to overclock far (if you intended to do that in the first place).
