Asrock Dual and AM2 cpu's, anyone tried this yet

Has anyone tried the addon board for the Asrock dual to take the new AM2 cpus?

Would be interested in any reviews etc as well, say comparing to the 939 socket and DDR vs the addon boards DDR2 memory.

just been looking at this review:

Looks like a total nightmare to fit. Don't think I'll bother with it tbh.

Bit of a gimmick if you ask me.

It will be handy for using as another upgrade step instead of whole system upgrade like the 939dual itself. if the am2 upgrade board is am3 compatable too it will make a nice step for upgrading the cpu and to ddr2 without a new board especially with the supid high pricies of good mobos these days.
