I've not heard anything about it coming out tomorrow. It will take a few days, maybe a week, to get it out to the retail channels after the release date.

You may want to wait a few months though, I've read that AMD has something up their sleeve to contest Intel's new chip.

I know for certain it is being released in the UK as we speak, but as for elsewhere, I am not sure. It is now available retail, you just gotta find it in stock.

And for all the non believers in the crowd, AM2 has come out in a blaze of gunfire. All futuremark records are dropping to the knees of the FX-62. Conroe smonroe......

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...81#post1466281 wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!for those of us with cash to spend on amd2 chip\mobo,this is going to friggin own this summer,new watercooling setup too,aww man!yawg theres no denying now man,this is all that and then some.

"I added it to origanal post...forgot. I'm using the FOXCONN C51XEM2AA using the NFORCE590 SLI chipset. Very solid board right out of the box just like the nf4 DFI's. Best part is you guys with 7900GT'S and 7900GTX's will have problem free overclocking with your cards single or SLI mode. LINKBOOST helps with pci-ex mhz/ core clocks when you use NVIDIA cards with the board. The board is designed and engineered purely to meet eXtreme overclocking needs. Pretty sure all the new AM2 NVIDIA mobos are this way ." read em and weap

Uh, my main system has been an A64 for like a year now. My point was that AM2 is nothing groundbreaking. The performance indicates that, as almost everyone expected, it is nothing more than AMD's DDR2 transition. Overclocked Yonah performance already beats overclocked AM2 performance. The FX-62 is indeed the best-performing stock processor on the market (for now), but that doesn't make this "groundbreaking stuff." AM2 is basically socket 939 with lower power requirements and better upgradability. Nothing to scoff off at, but then it's not like the release of socket 754 or socket 939 either.

as yawg said, am2 isnt owt new. the fx60 only beats everything else cause its clocked 200mhz faster than any other chip stock. i do like amd, but wont buy am2 till they release a truely newer, faster, chip.
