They use difffent methods to hold the heatsink on, AMD use the clips and the "up and over" method, P4's (478s) like to use long retaining clips, 775s want little plastic indents that push into holes on the board and essentially does away with the clips altogether.
As a general rule, the heatsinks are not interchangeable between AMD and P4, and as the latter generates far more heat than the AMD, the AMD heatsink and fan, if you were able to get it to fit properly and snugly, may not be able to cool it sufficiently. Plus of course it invalidates any warranties you may have as well.
