His question was is if supports it, which is does. Is it compatible? No. It will be after a quick bios update. E-mail these guys and ask them for the latest bios update. Then you should be good to go. If not, they will tell you.

Hey thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I'm a tad unsure so I think I'm just gonna steer clear of a CPU upgrade for now, and just go grab a 9600GT and 4GB of RAM. Thanks anyway, though.
