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.


congrats on winning the cpu. it must be a special cherry pick cpu for you to get it months later . nice recap of the event. i went to the one in chicago a few days ago. was it crowded at this event? the one in chicago was small. so am3 will work in am2+ board huh, very interesting. the grid game in a lan with the logitech wheel/chair is awesome. i can't wait to get phenom II.
