    Ahhh, now things are hottin' up - lots of AM2 CPUs and motherboards in stock, as we speak.
    But Conroe - yikes! that Intel Core 2 Duo (Conroe) CPU put a nasty beating on the FX-62, did you see that over at Tommy's:

    Whooped up on it somethin' bad, LoL :^) Ouch that stings.
    Keep in mind, they sell FX-62s for $1444.99 and just the bloody tax on this CPU is ~$200 bucks! (Canadian.)
    Conroe motherboards with Intel 975X chipset are already available, right now.
    So how about that: AMD has a new Socket but same CPU; meanwhile, Intel rolls out a whole new CPU, but - same socket!
    Unbelievable that AMD guys are changing motherboards, not Intel guys, LoL.
    Conroe's coming! About time, too...
