Let's Clock Into The Sunset Together

Fun Shoe
To be perfectly sure I comprehend the OP correctly (because it's backwards from the previous jump), I'm using a Socket AM2+ motherboard right now with a Socket AM3 CPU. When Bulldozer drops, I can buy a Socket AM3+ motherboard and drop the Socket AM3 CPU right over?

So basically Socket AM2+ motherboards were forwards compatible (with AM3 CPUs) and Socket AM3+ motherboards will be backwards compatible (with AM3 CPUs)? I've been considering a system upgrade but if Bulldozer is out in a few months I'll stick to upgrading just my graphics card if I've got the above worked out properly.
