Probably a stupid qustion but

If the Athlon XP is released on 9 Oct when can we purchase it?

Uh...I think it's usually the same day. I could be wrong though. Depends on how desparate AMD is to get it out. There have been cases of a released product being unavailable to the public.

Oct. 9 is the day that it is suppost to start shipping to OEM's. It should be available to the general public as soon as the OEM's recieve it. Which will most likely be a few days to a week or two.
