    no it will not.
    The m7700 (D900T)
    will only support single core processors up to 3.8Ghz.
    I believe the 3.8Ghz is a 670 cpu.

    The system will only work with pentium 4's, thats why they werent as much of a hit as the D900K, which had the option for dual cores.

    ^^ like K-Tron said.

    the D900T has a Intel 915 chipset.... which does NOT support anything higher than a Pentium 4 (LGA775)... single cores, of course.
