Generally speaking, notebook designed CPUs are not cross-compatible with desktop
motherboards.
They are designed differently for; size & mounting, heat and power consumption
considerations.

There is a picture comparing a desktop size processor, to the
laptop version here:

\_______ Package character

A CPGA = ceramic pin grid array ?
B OBGA = organic ball grid array ?
D OPGA = organic pin grid array ?
E uPGA <--- a tiny processor ? uPGA = micro pin grid array ?
F OPGA* <--- regular size
G uPGA* <--- a tiny processor ? (the tomshardware picture is a "G" ?)

(Info from http://fab51.com/cpu/guide/opn-xp.html#t-bred )

It looks like your processor is the regular size, as near as
I can tell from the information I can find.
