Rumors are that SB boards could start shipping in as soon as a few weeks.

Got a shiny new case and all the gubbins except mobo, cpu and optical drive waiting for that re-release. Then I hear that the Z68 boards will support some kind of new SSD cacheing from mechanical drive installations and now I don't know what to do. Or even if I need it but I like how a friend explained it, mirroring boot files and regularly used apps from a mechanical drive onto an SSD and replacing them with dynamic links. It's like technobabble can also be a shiny thing at the same time and I MUST HAVE THIS THING!

VR-Zone posted:Intel have been anything but forthcoming with details about its upcoming Z68 chipset, but VR-Zone can now as first publication give you the model names of Intel's own brand Z68 chipset motherboards. Intel is planning two models at launch and they're placed in the extreme and media motherboard sections in Intel's line-up. Source Does anyone who follows this stuff more closely know what "Release 10.5" is? What is that a release of? What is the current version of whatever that is a release of?

Its talking about Intels RST drivers (rapid storage technology). Its currently up to version 10.0.xxxx officially, with higher unofficial versions leaked online. Most SSD firmware flashing tools dont support v10.0 yet, so to update your SSD you need to rollback to v9.6. I've convinced myself that v10.0 is faster, but that could just be due to HIGHER NUMBERS

I take it if I am building a new gaming PC, at this moment, that I would be best served to wait on the revised chipsets from Intel to show their heads? I ask because my current gaming desktop is going on 3 years and is starting to show its age and stuttering and hiccuping.

Yes, but you don't really have a choice as not many places are left that will take your money and give you a board. If you can hold out, new boards are coming out soon. Reminder to current owners, register for your mobo makers' RMA program before their deadline!

I've used AMD products on the desktop for many years with few complaints, and most of them were about the crap VIA chipsets that were all that was available many years ago. It's not going to kill you to wait a month for the new P67 boards though.

To me, it's worth the extra $$$ for flexibility of having 3 x16 physical slots + Intel integrated networking (vastly better drivers IMO). The non-PRO will have 2 x16 and a Realtek controller. Minor difference in number of eSATA too, I think.

But I won't have enough money to upgrade to Sandy Bridge until April if I'm lucky. I may just wait until Ivy Bridge comes out at the end of the year. Comedy option: wait until Haswell before upgrading.

It's the eternal dilemma - buy now or wait a few months for something better. If you decide to wait, something better still will be on the cards and the cycle never ends.

Zotac had a H67 mini-itx board out: http://techreport.com/articles.x/20290 . I don't know of any P67 mini-itx boards. Companies might just wait to do Z68 ones. What case are you planning on using? This is something I've been thinking about myself. I first got the idea from seeing that Silverstone SG07, but you can actually find m-atx cases that are basically the same size. I've personally got my eye on the Lian Li PC-V354, but it's a little on the expensive side (but still in the same ballpark as that Silverstone).

Does anyone have any insight as to how Newegg will handle replacements? Will you have to send in your motherboard before they ship out the new one? Or will they ship you the new one first so you can ship the old one in the new box? I got the notification email from them saying that they will be available based on when you ordered the original board. I can't be without a working computer for any amount of time for at least the next month, but I also don't want to wait until they start selling them again because they will probably be sold out for a while.

Picking up my AsRock Extreme6 MB tomorrow and assembling my first (personal) cpu for years tomorrow. Geeky christmas titters all up in my insides! Well, as long as my existing PSU isn't faulty. Are there any decent ways to test if my CPU will be able to handle the load?

Prime95 or Intel Burn Test. If it can run Prime95 for 24 hours or IBT for ten minutes, the processor is stable. You'd need something else for full load (i.e. stressing the graphics card, too), though. And maybe a multimeter to get actual voltages.
