What worries me is what will happen with the bad sandy bridge chips which will be pulled and which Mainboard makers have loads of right now. They may not all get returned to Intel for destruction, and may end up in the hands of unscrupulous sellers and hence in cheaper motherboards in the coming months. Intel definitely needs to poke a software readable revision counter of some sort on silicon up a stepping, so people can weed out the bad ones.
