I have this mobo

I'm thinking about dropping in a quadcore and don't want to upgrade the mobo if I absolutely don't have to. I do a whole lot of Illustrator, Photoshop, Office, and in Visual Studios 2010 work; I am a hefty processes consumer

.
There is this AM2+ that is on newegg:

It will, but you need to use a hammer to insert the CPU into the socket. Post pics.
