Just Damn! FORC5 was prescient again! The HWG are beta-testers at
(best-price) retail!
But, I read the JRS link 3 times. The 3rd paragraph is opposite of the
Intel statement about this issue. The core I5 and I7 processors (cpus)
are NOT affected. The bad "support" chipset affects the m/b only.
Unless I'm just getting more stupid(?)........ :)
Best,
Duncan

Intel has a chipset issue that affects the launch of Sandy Bridge.
