The information available at some sites including the description seen at https://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?...&view=detailed indicates having support for the dual core models.

Nope....it does not support C2D. The only dual core it supports, is Pentium D. Are you buying just the motherboard, or that whole computer for $850. If you're buying the whole thing, I'd say ditch it, because you can build a better rig for that money.
