Default P67/H67 recall

http://newsroom.intel.com/community/...8152-c1-264102
The SATA2 ports are defective (SATA3 are fine). This what, the 3rd recall
Intel has (Pentium FDIV and i820's MTH being the other 2)? Going to cost
them a billion dollars (700 mill to fix plus 300 lost revenue).
On top of that Nvidia&AMD settlement they're out 4 billion in just a few
months.

I don't think Intel produces any 6Gbps SATA chipsets, so any
motherboards that have them are probably coming from 3rd parties, such
as Realtek or VIA or somebody.

It's only money, of which Intel has plenty.

The bigger problem, and one you can't write a check to solve, is that
the computer landscape that x86 has successfully bestrode like a
colossus is changing at both low end (mobile devices displacing
notebooks) and the low end of the high end (high volume servers that
don't do much computation but that spend an awful lot of time waiting
even while serving high volumes of traffic). You could talk plenty
about all the possibilities, but no one really knows what's going to
happen, and I'm sure Intel would prefer just to keep writing checks
than to deal with such an uncertain future.

These chipsets include 2 6Gbps ports with some boards having 2 more from a
Marvel chip.
If want to read the details of the problem.
