will phenom 9950 support ddr3

ive been on a few other forums on the web and they have mixed responses saying that no am2+ with support ddr3 and then others that say it does support ddr3,
I have a motherboard here that has an am2+ slot with ddr3 ram slots but is there any point in buying any and instead just using ddr2 in my old motherboard?

sigh, is it worth scrapping that idea, and staying with ddr2 or getting a whole new mobo, ram and cpu? like a phenom ll

just a budget card atm,im in the middle of saving for odd bits, its a 9500gt, an awfull card that makes me die inside a little bit each time i play a game but it can handle Dawn of war 2 at max and civ 5 on medium, the res depends for some games i prefer 1280 x 1024 and for films and tv shows i prefer 1360 x 786

well i can blow a few hundred, but if you recomend a new card then ill see what that does before anything else
