"... Intel implemented a similar feature in x86 processors beginning
with the Pentium 4 processors based on later iterations of the Prescott core."

Are there Prescott processors for S478 ?

In the listing at the bottom of this page, it could be Prescott LGA775
processors that support NX.

In the Intel information page, it would be listed as Execute Disable
near the bottom of the page. There is no selection filter in the
filter on the main page, to select all processors with that capability.
I would have to check the processors one a time to figure it out.
I selected this processor, thinking it had the latest year of
introduction.

My guess right now, is that there isn't a S478 processor, to do the job.

My P4C800-E motherboard has the same problem. I was not
able to install Windows 8.
