Another reason I didn't go Sandy Bridge
Intel hit with chipset design flaw in Sandy Bridge rollout | ZDNet
I rarely get bleeding edge chipsets. And this is why. Something is invariably wrong with them and they get replaced, fixed, recalled, SOMETHING.

Latter option would be a good one... It looks like good tech. Jus has issues right now.
Latter part of the month they will be shipping good silicon to manufacturers so probably end of march the old stuff will have all been pulled.

Re: Another reason I didn't go Sandy Bridge
Not much to see except a BILLION DOLLAR problem for Intel. Even intel says it's unlikely you'd see the issue, but if you are like me and have a bunch of sata drives, you would. So it's best to not touch sandy bridge motherboards with a ten foot pole until you can be sure that you can get one that's fixed.
