Why didn't I ask this before? Another Sandy Bridge query

[Fortysixter_UK]

As the Sandy Bridge issue only affects motherboard chipsets, which motherboards are PCS selling with their systems that ARE NOT affected by the issue?

Is the Asus p6x5dd Premium affected?

After all, this is the only issue stopping me from ordering a new system at this time.

No, the P6X58D is not affected by the issue - it is not part of the new Sandy Bridge launch. The only Motherboards that are affected by this issue are in the "Top Spec Core i5/i7 Computers" here;

As mentioned a numerous threads, the issue has been blown out of proportion by the media (even the AMD boys have admitted this!). We have adjusted our website to prevent any PC being able to configure a Sandy Bridge PC which uses the so called "faulty" ports.
