The first athlon XP was released in April 2001, that to me sounds a bit dated. Plus its single core doesnt really have support for new extensions and such, basically, its sdated and people arent buying them anymore. They will still be around on ebay for a while if you want to buy one.

*EDIT* Scrap that date, i looked at the wrong table, thats the date of when intel released thir 1.7Ghz P4, which was the major rival at the time to all AMD's.
