You're probably only looking at a month before regular inventory is available. We haven't jumped on the the 67 chipsets because we've been waiting for the Q67 release. The Q series is designed for stability, reliability, and longevity vs H67 and P67 geared toward media and performance. We do have two P67 boards arriving this week and we will likely just build one up as a demo to see what happens.
As for reimbursement, don't expect it. I don't see car manufacturers offering you another because they recalled a model for some repairs. You get to wait like every one else. Ideally though, what few we may sell before the issue is fully resolved will be backed by the typical 24 hour replacement parts we get as an authorized reseller. So, if/when the bug affects a system we build then your downtime will be very minimal. That be all, Mr O. --- On Tue, 2/1/11, silverlining2...@gmail.com <silverlining2...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: silverlining2...@gmail.com <silverlining2...@gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [Eug-lug] Intel announces Sandy Bridge chipset recall > To: "Eugene Unix and Gnu/Linux User Group" <euglug@euglug.org> > Date: Tuesday, February 1, 2011, 1:43 PM > Uhhh...What panic?
