ditto query. but slightly rephrasing it.

if its only the bios support, and the pins are compatible with am3 boards, will it be possible like am2+ boards to just transplant an updated agesa module and cpucodes into an am3 bios from an am3+/am3r2 one.
I ask because I did it myself for my am2 board for which the manufacturer didn't provide a bios for phenom/athlon II/phenom II support and can do it again if so.

Most of us enthusiasts who are loyal to amd either are old school folks who stick with it cause its a more vfm platform or either have no money to buy new boards every now and then.
I know a lot of amd fans here in India (including me) who are so disappointed with this debacle. Its like 939 all over again
