    Bulldozer is ONLY supported in AM3+ sockets. This comes straight from the desktop guys.
    While I work for AMD, my posts are my own opinions.

    Thanks for confirming that. Puts an end to all the nonsense arguing.

    What's stopping people from getting a lawsuit going with board manufacturers lieing to consumers? I have a feeling the manufacturers would blame AMD for something. I doubt a bunch of them just wanted to say hey we got AM3+ support for no reason. Even not a lawsuit but it doesn't help things for AMD. But I guess when you have to wait like 5 years for a new processor to come out people are going to be looking for a new mobo anyways.

    the AM3+ support boards they show actually have the AM3+ socket and follow am3+ specifications; only the chipset is taken over from AM3 (considering both use the same hypertransport protocol there should be no problems at all just like some AGP chipsets from 2003 were used on AM2 boards)

    Thanks for clearing that up. It still seems a bit odd to me.
