Does anyone have any information on the expected availability of the revision "E" AMD Athlon 64 CPU's? These are the ones that will have SSE3 support, (all but the Hyper Threading specific commands) and other optimizations. I've been holding back on an upgrade 'till recently and wonder if these are due soon enough to wait for. The last rumor I had was that they were due out sometime this month, but I'm not holding my breath. :)

Early 2005 is the noise i've been hearing, which means it'll probably be readily available by mid year.
Unless you really want to pay early adopter tax, i'd wait till later this year to buy one.
