Maybe, maybe not.  Going by the rating of a power supply is a bad thing, 
especially when dealing with "wall wart" ones.  Often then are 
unregulated, aka straight off the transformer, through a full or more 
likely halfwave rectifier and a few caps the flatten it out a bit so you 
may actually get more like 7 to 9 volts from a 5v supply.

Test the output with a volt meter, 5.1v vs 5v won't hurt, but you really 
shouldn't go above that.  AFAIK 700mA is enough to run the board, just 
dont' go asking it to power USB devices.
