I just did a quick google search on the AM2 and AM3 socket compatibility and some AM2 and AM2+ motherboards are forwards compatible with AM3 CPU's. Its simply a bios update. the only downside is you'll still be using DDR2 and wont be able to get the advantages of DDR3 ram because of the motherboard. But the performance upgrade will still be there.
