Will these chips work in standard AM2 motherboards, or will you have to get AM2+ motherboards?

I've read a few places that most AM2 motherboards will just need a BIOS update for them.

I have a Biostar TFORCE 550 motherboard, but I don' t see any kind of BIOS update on Biostar's web site.

Its true most existing am2 boards will just require a bios update. Biostar isnt the quickest company though, so it'll probably be a little while before they get around to making one.

So what do the Am2+ boards offer over the standard AM2 boards ?

it seems from what read, it will be a few more months before we see the next gen MB that will take advantage of all the new features that come with the new Quad core AMDs

it really dissapointing that AMD really has dropped the ball on this one. Intel has jumped way ahead with thier Quad release and the 790 Chipset.
