AM3 on an AM2 Board

Hey,

I'm thinking about putting an AM3 chip on an AM2 (not AM2+) Board.

AM3 Chip - http://tinyurl.com/2vmhvbk

AM2 Chip - http://tinyurl.com/2enp2k

AM2 Mobo - http://tinyurl.com/yuo2k7

(Tiny URL for neatness)

I know the board will support the chip.. I'm just curious how much performance loss there would be going from AM3 to AM2.. Is it even worth changing?

Does anybody know of any reviews that compare the same chip on both sockets?

*Edit - Any AM3 chip compared on both AM2/AM2+ vs AM3 would be great to see*
