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...

Phenom II cpu's will only work in AM3 and AM2+ boards for a limited time.  (Only a few binned chips will work for about 2 quarters) after that they are switching everything to be AM3 only.

Not sure where you've been getting your info from ;)

 



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
