Guys thanks for your answers.

Can you guys also refer to some nvidia & ati ( aka amd ) chipsets which supports the latest AM2+ Socket.

Also are there any kind of technical differences between these two socket apart from the processor support ? Guys if possible plese mention any reliable website links.

I think the AM2+ sockets are backward compatible. They support AM2 processors. Im not very sure about it though.

For AM2 or AM2+, ATI 790G is the best chipset avialable as of now and it's the latest from AMD-ATI.
