I read Q4 2008, that means October. in any case I can wait another 6-9 months if I have to.

Q4-08 means October at the earliest (Q4 is Oct - Dec). Expect the first releases to be server and extreme processors (at a huge premium). I'm hoping for the mainstream retail units to be widely available by Q2-09.

Yeah, and Dec is 6 months away, and Q2 is 9 months away (it's June already..) Anyway I think they will come sooner, I've seen nothing to indicate they will change their policy of releasing the "Xtreme" versions first, and then the mainstreams 2-3 months later like they have been.

also note that peryn/conroe quads are cheap now.
and that the nehalem chips are bigger.
new and thus more exensive. so i'm not waiting to find out that at that time I can't afford it
and if it turns out to be affordable i'll get myself a new mainboard and cpu (ram) in a few years.
for rendering purposes, its not that much faster anyways

i am waitng for the new supply of videocards (hd4870x2 GTX280) and building a pc with a cheap quadcore in it.
