800 Series Chipsets Support What CPUs?

[geokilla]

I need some help guys. Is this correct or wrong? If it's not right, can someone give me the right answer? I also need to expand on this by another sentence or two, but not sure what to put since I suddenly became confused at this.

AMD's 800-series chipsets support both socket AM2+ and AM3 CPUs since they both have a DDR3 memory controller.

Thanks!

In case you're wondering what this is for, it's for a presentation. I'll also need this info for when I purchase a Phenom II CPU to go with my Gigabyte GA-MA785-UD3H, I think...

ddr3 controller is in the am3 cpus, am2+ i think ddr2 only.

Socket AM3

Opteron (single-CPU) This article is part of the CPU socket series Socket AM3 is a CPU socket for AMD processors. It follows directly from Socket AM2+. AM3 was launched on February 9, 2009, alongside the initial grouping of Phenom II processors designed for it.[3] The sole principal change from AM2+ to AM3 is support for the AM3 processors' integrated memory controller, which now supports DDR3 in addition to DDR2.

Yea I checked Wikipedia and did a quick Google search before I made the tread. Made me even more confused, especially with the error WIkipedia had.

AM2 = No

So then this image is incorrect right?

You are correct. I will change that ASAP. No idea how that slipped through.

Don't you need to know where I got the picture from?

And thanks for the help guys. Presenting tomorrow. It's going to be boring since it's so technical for an Accounting ISP.

That is our picture. So I know where you got it. ;)
