There's a CPU support link right on the page you linked.

That being said - why use such a low end board for a Quad? That chip set was only designed for 800FSB, all 1066/1333 variants are essentially overclocked north bridges.

If you want to get the most stability and performance in a quad core CPU - at least spring for a decent G31 chip set board.
