Using AM3 CPU on an AM2 board is like using a SATA 3g device on a 1.5g board, it will fit, but it will be limited. ThatÂ’s the impression I've gotten from reading reviews. They are backwards compatible but because its older technology it wont run at optimum performance. So I think that getting an AM2 socket motherboard just because you think AM3 will rock, is a stupid idea.
