Are there any AM2+ motherboards out that are compatible with SLI right now?
no, all of the AM2+ boards are created by ATi, so they only support quad-crossfire. But, you could always use a regular AM2 board to use the Phenoms since they are backwards compatible, so if u want SLi with one of those, get an Nforce based one
ya, but the AM2 mobos will not make the Phenoms perform very good as an AM2+ can. Although, with that TLB bug right now, their shouldnt me a huge differ from AM2 n AM2+ at the moment.
Have to wait until around March to get B3 stepping Phenoms, 9900 n above. THEN we all will see the true potential of the Phenom!

Actually, that is for the current BIOS workaround, not the chips themselves. The B3 stepping should be free and clear.maroon1 said:As far as I know the B3 stepping is going to decrease the performance of Phenom per clock because it includes the bug fix for TLB. Thats what the article at Techreport and dailytech says, right ?
You have your opinion, just like everyone else. But I wouldn't call it useless. I'm with AMD like I am with Ford... Both have done well by me, so I choose that brand when I have a choice. I am not alone in that regard.In my opinion, there no reason to waste your time waiting for something useless like that....
the b3's will have different designations, correct ie 9550 & 9650? i hope so, otherwise you will still have a chance of getting one (like the q6600) until the old are all gone.
