ASUS pledges support for AM3+ both for current and future motherboards

Yeah, i think JF didnt know everything about this topic.On few occasions he was wrong,and/or not exactly fully truthful.
Seems like AM3+ chips will fit just fine in AM3 board physically, and as for the working, its atleast possible on some of them.
Im not sure AGESA transplant will be enough tho, seems like there are two pins which most manufactureres simply didnt connect on their AM3 boards.

no, its exactly this:
Zambezi is real AM3+ CPU only! But this exception at ASUS boards is as "functionality hack" AM3 socket to AM3+, because 2 needed pins are activ here form beigining! Its very diferent, it will be only far-sighted move from ASUS.

I will openly admit to being wrong when I am wrong. However I am not untruthful.

I say what I am allowed to say and when I am wrong I admit it.

AMD will only support BD in AM3+ sockets.

right, this is exactly saying. From ASUS is only "hack" . And think, AM3+ and 990FX will be better in performance and P states.
