This has been a two part problem:
My friend has a DP55WG but can't boot fully. The POST screen with the Intel logo comes up for a split second, the screen goes dark and then comes up again for a split second before moving onto the Windows loading screen. The loading screen comes up for a...
My wife is almost rabid while she waits on her Kobo! I can't say as I blame her for exactly the reasons mentioned above. No shipping time/no need to head to a store, instant access and dirt cheap!
What was awesome about Asus' statement is that they are resetting the warranty periods for all P67 motherboards. If you bought one of the first ones on the market, Asus is restarting the warranty of the date of the press release so you could continue to use it for even longer and only send it...
I'm not sure I'd buy into their use-it-for-now way of thinking. If it can possibly take a drive with it then unless they plan on reimbursing me for that as well as exchanging the motherboard, I'd be shutting my system off.
Just as the title says, it's epic but oh so wrong.

Their newest creation, the Sloppy Roethlisberger, is a 100,000 calorie abomination.
If you are, today is your lucky day!
2x4GB kits for under $50! I'm tempted to buy another 1600mhz G.Skill ECO kit!

Call the manufacturer immediately and see what they'll do. They sold you a board with a part that has been acknowledged as defective so I would hope they have some sort of plan in place.
I suspect we will see quite a few boards with a rev.2.0 sticker attached to them if the manufacturers do remove the chipset and replace it with the updated version.
They did say that anybody who had an account in the original game will get to carry their character over when the game relaunches so I'm not sure if that will cover special items cosmetic items.
Suddenly I love my H55 again. Everybody is probably cursing Intel right now but kudos for them not keeping it a secret. Looks like I'll be holding out for a little bit.
Any word on what any of the manufacturers plan on doing with the defective stock?
The Vertex 2 was on sale before Christmas for less than the Mushkin drive. Too bad the gift cards took so long.
The drive should show up this week (10 business day shipping - blech!) so I'll use it for my OS and maybe a choice game or two if I have the room. The rest of the games will go into...
Bingo.
It's not just the media but almost everyone out there feels they need to blame something or put a label on something because it makes them feel safer. It's as if they automatically feel better if they have something to direct their emotions at.
If you don't know what something is...
I don't have any but it's nice to know that there will be extra processing power if I need it although running at 1680x1050 with a 6850, even at stock is more than enough muscle.
I thought you could install 11.1a over 11.1 but I may be wrong. The difference is that there are select games that will experience a performance increase when using a 6800. I'm looking forward to seeing if there's any improvement on DX11 performance in Metro 2033 and the boost in Black Ops is...
