I got the annoucement in August that the 2600s would be coming out soon. It is now September and they are barely rolling out. (As in, several vendors who are selling them don't actually have them yet.) AMD is horrible about this. Announce a chip, and 3 months later it hits the streets. I was planning on going the 2x2600 route, I even bought a new mobo. But after waiting too long, I decided to spend the money elsewhere. Kind of glad now too. Maybe in 3 months I will be able to get my hands on a 2800. Maybe.
