Just a re-badged Gigabyte MA790GP-DS4H. And the sideport memory is DDR3 not DDR2.

LOL tis a bit mind boggling :)

The backwards compatability is nice though :)

Good times? I need an AMD socket NNN decoder ring!

The AM3 CPU's are compatible with DDR2 and DDR3.

AM2+ motherboard's are compatible with AM2, AM2+ and AM3 CPU using DDR2. The upcoming AM3 motherboards are only compatible with AM3 CPU's

Good times :)

The memory controller built into the CPU can work with both DDR2 and DDR3. The benefit is in that DDR2 probably works out to be more cost effective at the moment.

Given that am3 is a 938 pin cpu and runs on ddr3 while an am2 cpu has 940 pins and runs on ddr2, how can they say this mobo is am3 compatible?

Im what way? no ddr3 slots... so they release a mobo that can take a 940 or 938 pins cpu? so i guess that means you could use an am3 cpu with drr2?

now why would i do that?
