Its not a mission critical fault if you only have 2 SATA devices. The two 6 Gb SATA ports are fine. Its ports 4 to 6 running at 3 Gb that may have an issue.

Still, a MB recall is a right pain in the @ss.

Was planning to order towards end of February. The anandtech article says:

"Intel has already halted production of its 6-series chipsets and will begin shipping fixed versions of the chipset in late February. You can expect motherboard shortages through March at least. Intel hopes to be able to meet demand by April."

I may end up testing the accuracy of Luthier's minimum specs after all.

Beautiful timing Intel - snafu and f**ked up really nicely there.

Wohoo, just saw an email that my Asus P8P67 has arrived. I'll pick it up to rig up for CoD and after a while RMA it once I reach a state of CoD overdose. That'll be somewhere around September I would assume =)

Yeah, if Intel don't get things rolling agian immediately, many people will just wait till Z68 is released in May/June. In many ways Z68 looks like a better chipset anyway.

Is it all the sandy bridge boards or just some and does it affect the ones not yet delivered? Couldn't make it from the article..
