As far as older am2 compatibilty I would think that is up to the motherboard manufacturer.

I might add I sense a change in the wind and this is just the beginning of more good things to come.

BTW don't shoot the messenger but from what i was told am2+ variants will indeed work in AM3 contrary to the rumours floating around the net.
That was extremely valuable information chew*.Same goes for event report .
Just awesome.Congrats to you and all of XS members who won hardware at the event.
So after all am2+ Phenom IIs might end up working in AM3 boards.This indeed is logical since the chips should be,in theory ,the same.

Thanks again,great news all around
