Default Upgrading CPU?

M/B is MSI PM8M2-V, currently using Celeron 3GHz.
Thinking of buying a Hauppage digital tv card but Hauppage recommend at
least a Pentium 4 3.2 GHz or higher.
Found this:

cheap on Amazon.
MSI support for this board give a list of supported CPU's he
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=pro..._no =180#menu
There is Pentium 4 640 (3.2GHz, R0, 84W) 800 16 in the list, what
significance is Prescott in the name?
Are they the same and is it just a matter of removing the old and replacing
it with the new?
Will there be much of a difference performance wise between the Celeron and
the Pentium although there's not much between the actual listed speed?
Replies appreciated.
