Wow, if retailers are not expecting any new SB boards until April surely there will be an interim solution? Anyone who wants a midrange Intel system (i.e. not 1366) would have to buy older 1156 parts.

the interim solution is to not buy sandy bridge, or buy from the dodgy dealers who'll sell you the faulty boards.

Looks like Amazon and FutureShop are following Rules of Acquisition #189.

Newegg stops selling sandy bridge cpus

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/sandy-bridge-sata-fail-chipset,12122.html

seems like newegg pulled all sandy bridge stock. wonder how long it's going to take for this to work itself out. kinda odd as for me raid controller beats incovenience and now customers aren't even going to be given that choice.

Why's on april? IMHO there's sumthin fishy about this and maybe to counter amd i'm not sure

Doubt it. If that were the case, they could just release new CPU's.

A big recall n to revise it? isn't cheaper that way?

yogurt_21 · Feb 3, 2011

idk it does seem like an odd reason to recall, perhaps there is more to it.

That's what they are currently doing. Eventually revised boards will hit the market in the coming months.

looks like intel still remembers the lesson they learnt from the pentium fdiv bug

MicroUnC · Feb 3, 2011

I can still use SATA 3 GB/s with no broblem

Not a big deal.

Mussels · Feb 3, 2011

i'm honestly shocked at how people dont care, because they seem to think 2-4 sata ports is enough.

you people scare me.

there there hard drives, its ok... the scary people cant reach you.

It's funny that they reposted the 2600's but not the 2500's.
