SImple solution for Intel 6 series problem

[Jakus]

If I was Intel regarding the "enthusiast market" I would simply offer an optional, say an 80% refund on supplied motherboards, that way Customers keep their hardware are are not so miffed it could have problems. This has the advantage of keeping sandybridge going for the 6 weeks until the new chipsets.

The alternative of paying postage and dealing with thousands of duff motherboards does not bear thinking about (time and money wise) + sandy bridge processors prices will fall through the floor

Simple and logical, do you not think ?

Problem is that the chipset is out there in various forms on numerous manufacturers motherboards, in desktops, warehouses and notebooks.

So for argument sake lets say there are 10 motherboard manufacturers and each one of those has 10 models of P67/H67 motherboards, and they have manufactured 100,000 of each type....

I think the manufacturers will be wanting a bit more from Intel

Sure, but My idea was purely for "us Guys" as I said
