890FX is AM3+ Compatible?

[JF-AMD]

I guess it is also possible for AMD to make (a cut down version?) BDs for AM3 socket + 890FX chipset, but we just don't know what is going on.

Nobody from AMD is talking, only some partners are in the loop, so all we can do is wait and see.

There is only one version of bulldozer for client systems and that only works in AM3+ sockets.

AMD should have push out Socket AM3+ board sooner .....

Very few people will buy boards before the processor is out. There might be a handful, of folks that want to do that, but 99% of the people will wait and buy both together.

Even those that say they will buy a board before BD launches will probably still wait to see if any other boards with different specs are out before they make their decision.
