I seem to remember that Intel released an early line of P4s with a 
different socket form factor, and I think the 1.4GHz P4 would be from 
about the right period.

These chips sucked (being slower than high-end P3s) and the motherboards 
  couldn't be upgraded to take newer P4s as the form factor had changed.

I suggest you make _sure_ the socket is the right one before going out 
and buying a new board. It may also be wise to check the website of the 
mobo you're going to buy to make sure that such an old chip will be 
supported.

If I were in your situation, I'd consider chucking out the old P4 
(compatable with new boards or no) and buy a nice shiny athlon + 
motherboard.
