    Yes it is compatible. It will run all AM2 capable CPUS and AM2+ CPUS with full features. Only early AM2 boards really strugged with power consumption but usually that was fixed with BIOS updates. There really is nothing to worry about now adays.

     You can find all the info on that board here 

     

    That board though is kinda old and it uses an old nforce4 based chipset. I would recommend going with something a little bit newer of a chipset. Are you only limited to having an mATX based motherboard in your case?
