Question about the chipset on the H67/P67 motherboards. need a little help :)

[geo88]

I have heard that there is a problem with the chipset on these boards. I'm thinking of buying a pc with the second generation Intel proccessors, more specifically the i7 2600 which need this kind of boards. does anybody know what the problem is? and if it's going to be resolved? I don't really know a lot of stuff about these things so I would appreciate any help.

Basically, with the solution PCS have put in place it really isn't that big a deal anymore; but if the thought of a defect does bother you then you can wait until the next batch of boards are available for order, fault free.
