No, some microATX boards do have four slots, unfortunately these are typically the more expensive ones, or at least ones that cost more than 50 dollars.
If you're after a decent four slot microATX board then I refer you back to my original suggestion:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128085
Be advised though, that using three slots is far less efficient than using four or two. You would be wise to change to either 4x512MB or more practically 2x1GB.

What graphics card does that board have? Is it better than mine?

Also is there a cheaper board with four slots,better or equal graphics that will support the intel processor u suggested?

a) Intel X3100, it's marginally better.
b) Not that I would recommend. You want a board that won't break, right?

Wait, so this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128085
And this processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116052
can go together and will fit in my PC?
Oh and do I already have a CPU cooler? Can I use my existing one with the processor above?
Do I need to buy thermal grease?
