It's disabled. If you want some light reading, go to the AMD website and find the developer PDF on Agena. Both DDR2 & DDR3 are discussed in that document as supported by the IMC. Phenom has had the capability to run both flavors from day 1......AMD has chosen not to enable the DDR3 portion until they, and the MB manufacturers were ready.
