it supports AM2 and AM3 currently has an AMD620 X4 chip

Looking at putting in
AMD CPU FX Series 4100 Black Edition Quad Core Processor Bulldozer

i believe the board above only takes 95w cpu which is fine but im noticing that the above chip is AM3+ which seems to have an extra pin but equally some are saying its backwards compatable to AM3?

any advice welcome

CPU support list is here (http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/ALiveNF7G-GLAN/?cat=CPU). Doesn't seem to be on the list.

nice one annoying it takes the 945 and not the 965 when its the same socket :-( or you reckon it would?

ignroe the above i see it cant take a 125w processor.
