You've been posting a lot of incorrect information lately. You should probably acknowledge your errors before rushing to declare that the false assertion in question didn't matter anyway.

To the matter at hand, it certainly is of consequence that all Noconas and Prescotts for sale in Q3 will lack NX support.

On the day of the SP2 launch in two weeks, only AMD parts will support it. Intel will be left saying, "we'll have that next quarter, at least in our non-mobile parts".

Furthermore, at the start of Q4, when the NX parts are finally available, there will still be non-NX parts in the channel. Prices will need to come down on those, relative to the NX parts.

And Dothan will not have NX for some time. That is important, too.

EDIT: And with Intel flailing and needing to launch 130nm Northwoods and EE parts on LGA775, *those* parts will not have NX either.
