This question may have already been answered but does anyone have a recent estimate of AMD64 (aka Hammer) release month? I plan to build a PC in May/June 2003 and I was wondering if it would be safe to guess AMD would have released the 64's starting lineup by then. www.amd.com didn't have one, but I thought a news site might've leaked one. AMD's been kind of shaky lately with their stock but I don't think this will delay the release will it? Thanks!

i would say it's fairly safe to say the first ones will be available to us normal people by june...i hope so coz i wanna get one too asap.you never know with amd though.i think they will stick to the whole 1st half 03 thing they mentioned and that would mean june at the latest-so my money is on june.

no matter how hard you try, you can't polish a turd. :]

hehe never underestimate how delayed a chip can get, there are no safe assumptions here :)

although i hope AMD release by June, by then the motherboard manufacturers will probably be on their second genereation of K8 boards! lol
