It might work, but ASUS doesn't want you to use the old
mobo, they want you to buy a new mobo. So they don't submit
old hardware for testing, so it isn't tested and rated. It
will probably work if you have a proper CPU and enough RAM
and maybe a BIOS upgrade, but it is not tested and
guaranteed.

Windows XP will run on some pretty old systems. But only
you know what your system has installed. You have a flip
chip socket and can have a wide range of CPUs installed, you
don't say how much RAM you have, or what else, such as video
and sound, all these must work together. Bottom-line, is
try it and see.
