Yes the CPU bis supported as long as you update the bios. Make sure you clean the old thermal paste off well and use new paste.

Another question. I also want to get 4gb of ddr2 but am having trouble finding 4gb so would a good 2gb set be any good?

Its dual channel so you want to install in identical pairs if you have 2 x 1Gb then you should add the same again or 2 x 2 Gb, if you have a 32 bit OS then you will not be able to use more than 4Gb. You want something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820159015
