You're very welcome.
The specs for the model series indicates that it does support some 800 MHz Prescott processors with the 1 MB cache which I was not aware of, but I don't know if they support SSE3.
See page 7.

Pretty high wattage though. 103W
Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor supporting HT Technology 3.20E GHz, 1M Cache, 800 MHz FSB

The PC does not support processors with a 1 MB cache.
You can only install processors with a 512 KB cache.
I installed this processor in my four HP d530 CMT's:
Northwood Pentium 4 3.2/800/512 processor with the sSpec SL6WG
