apparently early AM3 and late AM2+ motherboards are backwards compatible with AM2 & AM2+ CPUs as long as they have DDR2 memory controllers like the AM2+ board i bought.
BTW, a friend of mine just finished his gaming rig too with a i5 2500k 8g g.skill DDR3 and a GTX460. I loaded Maya and AutoCad onto his computer assuming his shit would run them well. Well fuck me sideways they actually run like shit with 20fps max. And his PC can run Crysis flawlessly. I couldn't believe it. I did some searching and forum lurking and it appears that even though GTX cards are powerful they run workstation opengl like garbage. Geforce GTX is definitely a gaming card, not a processing card. And Im affraid im going to have to get the +$400 Quadro 2000 cards or Nvidia Tesla Cards to run the programs i want well.
