Intel recall affects all Sandy Bridge PCs

Hi I just want to share what I have read, I was ordering a new sandybridge system and had to cancel it for now

Intel has issued a chipset recall that will affect every PC and laptop incorporating its new Sandy Bridge processors.
The problem is with the Series 6 chipsets, which is used in all
Sandy Bridge systems, both laptops and desktops. The company claims the
SATA ports within the chipset - codenamed Cougar Point - "may degrade
over time, potentially impacting the performance or functionality of
SATA-linked devices such as hard disk drives and DVD-drives".

what?! tsk, tsk , tsk...

how about the SATA 3.0?

i will be waiting for the high-end i7 Sandy bridge that is using a triple channel. been wondrin' if it is also affects the SATA ports.

hehehe... buti na lang di pa ko nag papalit.

sir still recommended parin ba ang i7 980x for an upgrade?
instead of upgrading the whole system kasi for sandy (mobo & processor) naisip ko 980x nalang..

i would rather buy 2-3 I7s compare with the 980x and use it as a mini farm. That will really save you a huge amount of time and money.

i980x is the king right now. I would buy it over sandybridge , It renders 2 times faster than i920.

having 2-3slower icore is an option, but it does not help you in other situations where raw ghz of 1 cpu is needed.

for example in computing LC, IR for an animation, etc.

thanks for the info sir..
@ cad magic..good suggestion sir but its for my personal use and sa room lang siya..2-3 CPU will not fit on my room..hehe

whoaa! muntikan na kong mapa-bili, buti na lang wala akong naabutang stock

Sa mga nakabili na, this might help... before your replacement come April-May

Some motherboard manufacturers already releases new mobo with revision B3 mark.
The issue with the chipset has been resolved.
