Intel Recall Rumors?
We are getting news from several different sources that a recall might be about to move forward regarding Intel's ICH6R southbridge controller. We were told that there seems to be a problem with motherboards booting using the RAID controller of the silicon. We have calls into Intel, motherboard builders, and retailers to verify this and expect call backs very soon to verify this issue. Two sources in the industry did report that "something" is going on, but they would not give public statements to either confirm nor deny this stories we are hearing. Stay tuned. Also you will see that we used ABIT's RAID controllers without issue on their AA8 and AG8 motherboards that use the ICH6R.
Update: At this time we can confirm that NewEgg.com is removing questionable motherboards using the new Intel 925/915 chipset technology till further official information is gathered. Kudos to NewEgg for sacrificing a few sales in order to protect their customer's best interest.
