Agreed. I thought there wouldn't be boards till april.

What is the thumbs down about? Sounds like good news to me...

you need to realize that chipsets do not equal motherboards

IIRC it was said that another month is needed to put the chipsets into motherboard production before we start seeing any products, and that the first products would go to the HPs and Dells and that end users like us are still likely looking at the same quoted time frame of April

Will they still accept RMA of bad P67 in ~April? Wanna wait for Z68.

Newegg does.

It is good news that Intel provided a resolution much faster than expected. But to see decent volume of replacement chips for retail market, might still take sometime since most of it will go to the OEM clients that buy in bulk.

I MIGHT do a board swap when Z68 comes out. Dunno. The thing is so much of a nuclear munition already that once I add the upgraded video card I might not be very motivated. The thing is that fast.
