I currently have an xfx 8200 motherboard, p/n MIA78S8209. With a AMD 6400+. According to the XFX compatibility list my cpu is 125watts, it wont support it but i am running it with no problems.

Am i correct in saying that AM3 is backward compatible to AM2 and AM2+, ie an AM3 cpu will fit in a AM2 and a AM2+ socket motherboard?
I am looking to upgrade to a phenom II, as of yet i can only find AM3 types. Im looking at getting either 925, 945, 955 or 965. Does anybody know of any problems with this or should i go ahead?
Thankyou Owen
