The Passage from Socket AM2 to Socket AM2+ had to calm down AMD supporters , who feared the inevitable overall modernization of computer. As is known, processors in the socket AM2+, relating to the generation K8L (K10), will be compatible with the existing motherboards socket AM2. But here user will forget about the support to the system bus hyperTransport 3.0. Furthermore, processors socket AM2+ in motherboard socket AM2 cannot so flexibly control their power, as this is provided for them in native motherboards.
Processors socket AM2 will work in motherboard with socket AM2+, and this is completely natural. A certain uncertainty existed only with respect to the compatibility of processors and motherboards socket AM3 and previous platforms. It was considered Until now that the processors socket AM3 will be compatible only with motherboard socket AM2+ and Socket AM3. However, motherboard socket AM3 will not support processors socket AM2 and Socket AM2+, since those processor do not support a DDR-3 memory .
Associates procured from CeBIT 2007 the completely cognitive illustration, which allow to understand, how processors and motherboard AMD of three generations they will get along together.
Now we can ascertain that processors socket AM3 will work in the old motherboards socket AM2+ and even Socket AM2, since the built-in memory controller of these processors support DDR-2. in motherboard socket AM3 it will be possible to install only processors socket AM3. For convenience we made a special compatibility matrix :
