GA-MA770-DS3: Works with Phenom II X3 720?

[Thund3rball]

I am jonesing to upgrade something and I'd love to go triple or quad core. The X3 720 looks like a sweet price/performance spot for me. But I am not sure if my MB takes AM3. The specs I got with my MB say AM2+/AM2 like this one on newegg.

According to Gigabyte the latest version of my MB is AM3 compatible, but I can't seem to find any info if a Bios flash will get my MB AM3 compliant. I think the difference between Rev 1.0 & Rev 2.0 is SB600 vs SB700. I have to check which one I have as I am not sure. Can anyone help? Thanks :)

Rev 1 and 2 both support AM3 Phenoms:
Rev 1 with the F7 bios,
Rev 2 with bios FB.

Awesome thanks for the help! Is there a big difference between running the SB600 vs SB700 with a Phenom II?

Edit: I just checked I have Rev 1.

That depends on if you want to overclock and if, how much.
You should be ok, although you should probably not plan on getting record oc's out of this board. (only little cpu voltage increase)

I am not a very aggressive OC'er so no worries there. Instead of a new board I'd rather put money on 4-6GB of some good Ram and a 64bit OS, but I will probably wait for Win7. I'd be really happy if that X3 went on sale for about $150. Nonetheless it will have to wait till next month as I just took advantage of that crazy Dell sale on 22" IPS monitors. Thanks for your help.
