Typical Asus though, seems like "do a lot of things badly" is their motto these days. I think I can speak for everyone when I say I wish they'd do less, but do it well. I don't want 50 motherboards for each socket, I want a few to choose from, but with good support. To have a ROG product lag so far behind the competition shows they are just stretched too thin and can't focus.
Agreed. I'm pissed that I have a $2500 paperweight if I wanted to use the SATA 6Gb. When I get home tonight I might try to load up on the Intel controller, but after seeing Gigabyte and MSI corrected the problem for their boards back in OCTOBER.... there's no reason we should still be waiting.

The guys over @ BIOS-Mods may be able to help though. I'll have to compile a list of stuff to post over there. Looks like the only source for the updated Marvell firmware by itself is some French website, www.station-drivers.com. Never heard of them though.
