Lower prices = more opterons for ME!!

Now if only ATI and Nvidia would do the same.

if nvidia and ati would do it, i would have gotten SLI long time. but hehe, AMD STRIKES BACK! imo conroe is still gonna kick ass

When is it supposed to be out?  Conroe that is?

eh, Opterons were the best in the first 3 steppings imo

Supposed to be July 24, but I've heard it's likely to get pushed back to September or so.

july 23rd... july 24th is AMD's price drop but yeah theres some rumors, but intel said in 1337 form: "stfu we want to release this bitch so we can pwn AMD roflz" its just a rumor and nobody knows if its true or not, but judging how desperate AMD needs a price drop, right after july 23rd (conroe release) so i guess conroe is gonna be out on july 23rd

the official release for conroe as of now is "Q3 2006", and from what i hear, they're sticking to it.

theyve announced its july 23rd... but all the OEMs are going to get it first

Damn this advancing technology, it makes me keep waiting to buy my computer. If they would just stick with one socket, it would be a lot easier.

but that would make major confusion like conroe some ppl think all 775 boards will support conroe, but only 965p and 975x intel badaxe and asus P5WDG2-WS workstation mobo. i have confirmation on the asus board since i have the board and asus sent me the bios support for conroe
