AM2+ compatibility

[Xiahou]

A Venice AMD64? No, I would say it's not compatible with any AM2 interface.

I'm not as much of a hardware junky that some others here are, but I believe that only AM2+ CPUs are compatible (tho handicapped) on AM2 mobos. I don't believe that even AM2 CPUs will work in AM2+ mobos. Socket 939 is a different animal altogether.

Here- straight from the AM2 entry in Wikipedia:

AM2 processors are incompatible with 939 motherboards and vice versa, and although it has 940 pins, it is incompatible with Socket 940[1].
