Brother,backward compatibility was never an issue .AM3 Phenom II chips should and will work in AM2 and AM2+ boards,provided BIOS support is there.
The other way around was the thing i was talking about:AM2+ Phenom II chips (supposedly DDR2 only) working in DDR3 AM3 boards which would mean AM2+ Phenom IIs are identical, from the IMC point of view,to the AM3 ones.The only difference would be a pin count between the two,TSI thermal interface and serial VIDs.
