I already have an AM2+ motherboard. A MSI K9A2-CF, which I'm currently using withan AM3 CPU.If you want, I could offer that motherboard to you as a trade for your Gigabyte board.Of course, I'll pay the difference.That way, you can get a board that can use that X4 with your DDR2 RAM (I updated it to the latest BIOS),and I can also have a board that uses my X3.
