The likely explanation is that the board was "rated" back before P4s higher than 3.06GHz had been officially spec'd by Intel.

Usually this isn't a problem, but it can be if the newer processor generation demands more power than the board can reasonably deliver -- it may still work but the lifespan would be shortened.

You might want to look at the BIOS update history for that board and see if support for the newer P4s is added in the later BIOS revisions. If so, it should work fine. If not, you may want to contact their customer service and try to get an official answer.
