that may be true, i have been known to be wrong

[Sava700]

"some desktop boards based on Intel P67 chipset," that the H67 chipset boards appear to not be affected, but that the company doesn't have a comprehensive list yet.

This is the only thing I've found to say what "Isn't" affected... at this point I'd avoid the Sandy Bridge chipsets until they are tested more, no sense in wasting the money to be a early adapter and a test dummy for a product that should have been right to start with.

As for the system being a good buy..depends on what your using it for, I'd drop the 500gig drive for a faster smaller gig raptor drive or a SSD but again depends on what it's use is for.

FYI this only affects the SATA 3GB controller- not the 6.
