A GERMAN SHOP is advertising new shiny processors from AMD that won't be released for a few weeks yet.

And Microstar International has also jumped the gun and breached the embargoes in place by releasing specs and pictures of a 754 pin motherboard which uses the Via K8T 800 and 8237 silicon.

The German site lists two Athlon 64s, one with a PR rating of 3200 and the other with a PR rating of 3200, which is equivalent to 2GHz. As always with the Athlon 64s, it's all a little puzzling, because the site shows one chip at €549 and the other at €569. One's boxed, the other's not...

    Crush K8 chipset sucks.

    Knowing nVidia product cycles, we'll be waiting about 6 months for the NF7-S 2.0 of Athlon64s to come out. That's around early april.

    Well I said it before.... Don't buy an AMD64 system until Q4 next year. You get the v2/v3 mobos and the .09CPUs. The first versions (of everything) always underperform.
