    Wrong! All SATA-II ports are effected.

      This is not what I have read http://www.asrock.com/news/events/201102ex/index.html I thought the "issue" only affects the SATA II (3 gbps) ports. Can you post something to back that up? I'm not tryingto be being snippy, I am just curious

        Well, if you can believe Intel ( ) 0,1 are fine, 2-5 are affected.

            0,1 are SATA III.

                    Or out of the 43 billion in revenue from last year. Maybe they can tell Nvidia that the "check is in the mail" for their cross-licensing payments. Although Nvidia HQ is literally 5 blocks away so maybe that won't fly.

                      Wow, now I'm even happier that I took the cheapskate solution this weekend. My motherboard died, and I was torn between upgrading to a newer MB/processor or just replacing the existing one... Ended up just buying a replacement.

                        considering their employee redeployment, rehire and internal transfer politics policies, I'm not surprised...
