Hi,

I just wanna give a heads up to be alert on this.

  that Intel just annoucned their 6 series chipset has a design flaw . 
darn,  this problems will affect all the motherboard makers who is using 
those chipsets.

"As part of ongoing quality assurance, Intel Corporation has discovered 
a design issue in a recently released support chip, the Intel® 6 Series, 
code-named Cougar Point, and has implemented a silicon fix. In some 
cases, the Serial-ATA (SATA) ports within the chipsets may degrade over 
time, potentially impacting the performance or functionality of 
SATA-linked devices such as hard disk drives and DVD-drives."
