Right guys, bit frustrated here, been looking into getting an 'am3+ compatable' board from asus ( http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/M4A89GTD_PROUSB3/#download )

and they claim its am3+ compatable with a bios update, yet others say am3+ has an extra pin so it wond physically fit these am3 boards?

others have said there will be am3 bulldozer chips,

others have said amd have told the public am3+ wont work on am3 boards at all?

so confused now, any help please guys????

:/ thanks,,
 
Several manufactures have boards which will be AM3+ compatible after a BIOS flash.

It will physically fit no issue.

As Stulid pointed out, what are you doing? :confused:

You seem to be flitting from one idea to another
 
lol i dont mean to mess anyone around xD just looking into bulldozer as my dad said i can get VAT of any parts i order so i have a lot more money to polay around with (so i now have £250 stu :) )

just curious bout bulldozer aswell, just wanted to clear some roumours in the air :O
 
Bulldozer is AM3+.
Bulldozer isn't officially supported on AM3.
Some manufacturers have released an AM3+ BIOS for their AM3 boards.

How it'll play out, we don't know. Likely a CH4 will be good enough to max out any Bulldozer.
 
I think you wont be happy till you got this.

i wanted something i could oc with :D appreciate the help and lightning speed spec up though :D

*edit* i have looked into 2500k's a lot, and they always seem to push the price too far, if there was (i doubt it) a p67 board with ddr2 ram it would be affordable as i have the 4gb ddr2 im using now but i doubt there is :O

Why so obsessed with ddr2? ddr3 is dirt cheap at the moment...

Sandy Bridge is in no way expensive.
Having said that, my board only lasted 2 weeks till it died on me.
