I can't find the full specs. Based on the info that I can find, it should be supported. But you won't really know until you try. Also, when dealing with older hardware like this, unless you are getting the "new" cpu free or cheap, you money is typically better spent on a complete upgrade (ie: new motherboard/cpu/RAM).
That is a Chinese board, similar to an Intel D945GCL, it should support the E4700, you can get a used one on Ebay for $12.50 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=e4700&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=1

If you could find the maker website and find a Bios update it would probably work but I couldn't find a website for the maker.
