So back over the holidays I was toying with the idea of building a new machine for the new year, and many people suggested I wait for Sandy Bridge to roll out. Since I wasn't in any real rush I thought might as well wait and see. Now that they've been out a little while, I've seen a lot of things going around about Sandy Bridge....lately it's been a batch of bad runs and recalls....but of more cautious concern was that the chips built in graphics had content protection built in. How is this being seen/felt? I'm hesitant when they start blocking ability to do something under an umbrella of it being seen as something you shouldn't be doing. Sometimes that's not the case yet you're blocked. I know there are typically always work arounds, but still don't like supporting such integration of tech.
just wondering which way to swing the bat.
