Emergency ! SOS!

[ghantaukay]

I have just placed an order for an Asus P8P67-Pro motherboard from theitdepot.com.The dealer is ready to ship the mobo tomorrow.I just got an email from a friend saying that all P67 mobos SATA 3 GB/sec ports would degrade in performance with time. So all motherboards from all brands (GIgabyte,MSI, Asus, Intel and others) that were shipped in the first installment had this problem. I am in a fix. Can anyone tell me if this is true and if there is any alternative mobo that I can order instead of P67 .I already have the Sandy Bridge processor i5 2500 K which I purchased just last week .Waiting anxiously for a response from you guys.

call itdepot and ask them whether they have the B3 revision of that motherboard or not? if yes then get it otherwise cancel the order and wait.

^^ As said above, confirm whether it is B3 revison or not. Most probably it should be. Do not buy the motherboard unless it is B3 revision.
