Yup, it will run fine on your motherboard with no BIOS update needed.

From the Anandtech article:
Socket-AM3 Phenom II parts will also work in Socket-AM2+ motherboards, the two are pin-compatible. When in an AM2+ board, these upcoming Phenom II processors will work in DDR2 mode, but when in an AM3 board they will work in DDR3 mode. How cool is that?
 
The currently available 45nm Phenoms are AM2+, not AM3.

@ zKILLA, your board is AM2, not AM2+, and whilst it supports the 65nm Phenoms, it may not support the 45nms.

Keep an eye on this page.

EDIT: Damn, I can't provide a direct link, you'll have the search for your mobo's CPU support list yourself.
