how would the averge consumer , that cares about tech stuff like us, get our hands on a hot spicy Intel Conroe chip on the 14th? Is it paper launch or will it be avaiable in stores, a week later or months later?

Intel's Non Disclosure Agreement expires on the 14th, and official release date of Conroe is the 23rd or 27th of this month...
After the NDA expires, testers of engineering samples of Conroe can share openly thier experience first hand with the public.

Official Release date. Does that mean that it'll be avaiable to the public? as in we can buy it from retailers?

Yes, but depending on demand, you may have to wait for your retailer to re-stock if they sell out quickly...
But Intel is indicating the largest tech rollout in history...

One question for you.

Only Major computer retailers will be able to sell conroe processors? Like tigerdirect? CompUsa? and all those stores? or every computer store?
Also What will happen if I call on July 20 a retail computer store to ask them if they are going to be selling conroe, will they tell me yes? or thats not confirmed yet? or what?
