Supak, <the major problem seems to be V Core.> I would recommend to replace the whole mainboard. The reason is that most likely your old P100 has none of the most recent useful features like power management, USB, UDMA-66 (or even -33), temperature and fan speed monitoring, S.M.A.R.T. disk monitoring, etc, etc. Besides difficulty with new Vcore settings, there might be problems with board PS capability to supply enough peak current. And what I can guarantee you for sure is that the old BIOS will definitely misrecognize the processor and misprogram it for best performance. Look at your case and pick any suitable Super7 board, MicroATX of BabyAT format, if it fits your case. Good luck.
