Anyone know what the official release date is? I have looked but unable to find anything about it on AMD's website.

There's an article in this weeks Micro Mart mag about cpu's and it claims an expected rollout from April with the following roadmap:-
Sempron- 2ghz 3000+, 1 core, 128kb L2, codename Manilla, Apr06.
2.333ghz 3500+, 1 core, 128kb L2, codename Manilla, Apr06.
2ghz 3200+, 1 core, 256kb L2, codename Manilla, Apr06.
2.167ghz 3400+, 1 core, 256kb L2, codename Manilla, Apr06.
2.333ghz 3600+, 1 core, 256kb L2, codename Manilla, Apr06.
2.5ghz 3800+, 1 core, 256kb L2, codename Manilla, Apr06.
Athlon 64- 2.333ghz 3500+, 1 core, 512kb L2, codename Orleans, Apr06.
2.5ghz 3800+, 1 core, 512kb L2, codename Orleans, Apr06.
2.5ghz 4000+, 1 core, 1mb L2, codename Orleans, Apr06.
Athlon 64 X2 & FX-
2x 2.333ghz X2 4200+, 2 cores, 2x512kb L2, Codename Windsor, Apr06.
2x 2.5ghz X2 4600+, 2 cores, 2x512kb L2, Codename Windsor, Apr06.
2x 2.667ghz X2 5000+, 2 cores, 2x512kb L2, Codename Windsor, Apr06.
2x 2.5ghz X2 4800+, 2 cores, 2x1mb L2, Codename Windsor, Apr06.
2x 2.667ghz X2 5200+, 2 cores, 2x1mb L2, Codename Windsor, Q4 06.
2x 2.833ghz FX-62, 2 cores, 2x1mb L2, Codename Windsor, Q4 06.
2x 3ghz FX-64, 2 cores, 2x1mb L2, Codename Windsor, Q4 06.
I don't know if the release has slipped by now as the article was probably written a couple of months ago, but it gives an idea of what is coming. That FX-64 promises to be a beast though.
All the Athlon 64, X2 and FX chips will support vitualisation which as i understand allows multiple operating systems to be installed and all of them running simultaneously although why you would want to do this is beyond me. Linux and windows together maybe?

am2 is 3-5% faster than current 939 for a given clock speed i.e 2.5ghz 939 vs 2.5ghz am2 = am2 3-5 % faster 
the k8 design isnt that bothered about memory speeds, like when amd went from single channel to dual, giving it double the memory bandwidth gave at the most around a 10% increase.
Either buy conroe or wait for ddr3 am2

Is that not why AMD are waiting so that am2 will be ready for DDR3? Here's a snippet from The Inquirer .
At the moment they are saying it will support memory up to DDR2 800 but will take faster stuff but that will require you to overclock just as you do with DDR over 400. See here .

That FX-64 looks very nice
Dual core 3GHz AMD chip! Should be a nice boost over my 2GHz Opteron
Best start saving now though!

Or more!
