Hi:

Below is the link to the dc7800 quickspecs.

The supported processors can be found on page 9.

thank you very much sir, this helps me alot. but q8400 is not listed in this list i used it and its working very nicly.

You're very welcome.

That is good news.  Sometimes a processor not listed works, but you can't tell that until you try one.

I have a dc7900 SFF, and it is running just fine with a Q9500 in it, and that isn't listed in the table of supported processors (see pp 9-10).

I bought it used that way.  I would have never installed a processor not on the list. 

Too risky unless you know for sure in advance it will work.
