Those were supposed to read family 15 (but all Pentium 4 are 15 AFAICT).
Here is /proc/cpuinfo:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 2
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz
stepping : 9
cpu MHz : 3200.000
cache size : 512 KB
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts
acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe pebs bts cid xtpr
address sizes : 36 bits physical, 32 bits virtual
Except for the apparent CPU speed error between URL and body text,

seems to describe what you have, a late production (socket 478) Northwood.

If you want NX for your existing motherboard you'd probably have to find a
Prescott 478, which may never have existed, and even if it does, might not be
supported by your BIOS or any available upgrade for it.
