July is dub'd as the release date... but rumour mill seems to imply DELL and other big OEMs could cobble the first lot - leaving the etailers out in the cold until August...

I believe engineering samples are kicking around on Ebay.

I noticed Overclockers.co.uk now list Conroe compatible motherboards as well.

Conroe and Merom look very good products. I intend to build my next PC around one of them. I've always been an AMD fan but the new AM2 socket doesn't seem to offer much right now
