Josh, was it you that were looking for an opteron/athlon64 with agp etc?

Anyway, it looks like the first boards are starting to arrive here now, Scan has the SK8N in stock.. http://web6.scan.co.uk/Products/Info.asp?WPID=74591

The race is on between AMD and Apple to get the 64bit desktop processors out then

Apple may be out later than AMD's Athlon 64. (The Opteron is already available in UK shops (dabs, scan etc))

The low-end and mid-range models, at 1.6GHz and 1.8GHz, respectively, are expected to become available the third week of August, beginning August 18, in line with Apple's promise to ship the new systems in August.
Things don't look quite as bright for the high-end, dual-2GHz Power Mac G5. According to the updated ETA from Ingram, the dual-GHz won't reach the channel until "late September."

Hopefully AMD will start advertising the Athlon 64 so that the general public find out about it...
