There is a detached group of models among Socket 775 motherboards, which is based on Intel chipsets of the previous generation (i865/875). As a rule they are no less fast than boards on i915/925. Besides, such systems turn out even cheaper. However, marketing advantages of such models are not quite clear: if you purchase a motherboard on i865/875, why not choose the one for Socket 478? (Besides, you will be able to buy a processor on Northwood core, which generally offers no less performance than Prescott core at the minimum.)..
