It will depend on if the manufacturer supplies a bios that it will work with it.
Also the board may not support the wattage of the cpu. AM3 itself didnt change much on pin placement might wanna do more research on it. Am3 can run in am2 sockets it was designed to be backwords compatable. But yet its still on the manufatcurere to provide a bios that can support it. And i just looked up the 955 and it still applies to that cpu aswel it is compatable with am2. as are all AM3's And you can look at the documentation of the cpu itself no where does it say a 955 will not work in a AM2 socket so that statement is false.
