I checked on the ASUS support page, and saw that since may of this year ASUS has already released a bios revision for this board which enables am3+ support.

My question:
Would it be better to get a newer board (as I'm not sure on whether or not the entire line of AM3+ chips will be supported) or stick with the extreme when bulldozer is finally out?

Thanks for any and all feedback.

iirc 800 series boards that are am3+ with updated bios may not take advantage of all the capabilities of bulldozer, so performance wise get a 990fx. but id be shocked if your mobo didnt support all 4 first release cpu's
