Nice some budget SB systems

Do these still suffer from the same chipset problems? I'm assuming not otherwise they wouldn't have released them?

Dont forget the processors are unaffected by the chipset issue, its the motherboards.

 

[JSG10]

Of course, but you can't have a processor without a mobo and I'm assuming that they will be shipping out motherboards too with this new release or is it still a case of having to wait until mid march time for a new stock of motherboards?

Sorry a lot of guessing going on on my part lol Not even sure why I'm asking, I'm not buying a SB system and already have a new one from you guys. Just plain old noseyness I suppose!

 

[Maestro]

I beleive asus and all other mobo manufacturers have already been given the new chipsets so its just a case of them integrating these and shipping the boards. If only it were that simple. Mid march i reckon for the b3 stepping boards.

Holy SMokes! the last 6gb quadro gpu shot up to £4xxx+ which was certainly heart fainting! lol~

as for the chipset problems they were fixed for over 2weeks now, its only today on the 20th that they were shipping them out. read it on 1 of intels articles somewhere weeks ago.
