Socket 462 and "A" are the same thing, so yes, it's possible.

EDIT: BTW, welcome to Anandtech

All Socket A/462 motherboards are supposed to, but I think there are a few that don't. The easiest way to find out is to look at Alpha's motherboard compatibility list, which I can't remember the URL to, but someone else should know it.
