WTF!? My mobo now supports AM3????

Yes, AM3 processors work on AM2 motherboards. It doesn't work the other way around though. (AM2 processors on AM3 motherboards)

Here's an article about it:
Interestingly though, AMD is apparently planning to allow end users to not only drop in an AM2+ processor into their AM2 motherboard, but also future 45nm socket AM3 processors too. These processors aren’t scheduled for launch until sometime in the second half of 2008.

fantastic, thank you!

$EDIT this looks like a good upgrade option for me. I want to get a 2nd ATI 4850 but my socket AM2 athlon x2 5000 is a bottleneck for my fav games at the moment. A nice quad core could change that =)
