Well the short answer is no. That board wont even support first gen Core2Duo much less the newest ones like the E-8400. http://www.intel.com/support/mothe [...] 026628.htm

I sympathise. That's why it's worth doing a little research before you just run out and buy stuff. Sometimes one has to learn this the hard way.
