The NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI chipset was released in 2008 for the AMD AM2+ platform. AMD CPUs based upon the AM3 platform may be used in AM2+ motherboards, but the reverse is not true due to the missing support for DDR3 and two extra pins. That's one of the benefits on the AMD platform while Intel CPUs force the changing of the motherboard every year it seems like, the AMD platform allows backwards compatibility for the most part.
