Good stuff, its great news for anyone building an AMD platform to know they can easily upgrade to some pretty fast chips if they want to on AM2+

Yes; the AM3 chips can also go in Socket AM2/AM2+ as well, so even new chips a year or two from now will still work in current boards. Nehalem, on the other hand...

Theres that, theres also the fact you can get an unlocked multiplier CPU for a reasonable price and overclock the bejesus out of it. I would pick that for a short time at least AMD will hold the mid range and low end price/performance crowns. Thats the reason all the chump boxes I ever posted were AMD AM2+ chipsets. Its so the poor chumps can upgrade if they wish to.
