MSI says about AM3 processors that support DDR3 memory. That's true.Support DDR3 memory is the most important feature of the AM3 CPU
MSI's AM2+ motherboards (the ones in the list) support AM3 processors. That's True.
The two above statements do not conclude in any way to the fact that MSI's AM2+ motherboards support DDR3 memory....DDR2 and DDR3 Dimms are physically incompatible...they use different pinout and slot types...
AM3 cpu's infact have dual IMC, so they support both DDR2 & DDR3 memory. That's why they will be compatible with AM2+ motherboards, due to their ability to work with DDR2...
Hope i helped...
