one more reason to buy AMD in that case.There are conflicting reports though...(edit: all right that is Intel describing DRM and yet not calling it DRM).

Treatment in progress...
Friends, I have been searching for sandybridge in Kolkata for the last few days...
Finally,had a talk with Mr. Pradeep of MD Computers. He,an intel kolkata guy(arindam,or arijit,i dnt remember) and myself had a conference call with result that I came to knw that only i5 2300 and i7 2600 are coming to Kolkata next wk. He can arrange for i5 2500K n i7 2600K back to back(on order). Prices will be notified in the next week.
Pradeep also said that MD have good relations with SMC Delhi(an SMC store is coming up in Kolkata soon,he said ), Prime ABGB and Delta Chennai . He can arrange to have the products sent to Kolkata with local warranty .
And this is Vedant's reply to SB query: "U saw it in net? Will take at least 6mths to arrive. Newest is i5 650 n i7 870!!!!"
Wat say?

I was browsing through some forums & found lotsa threads saying that Intel recommended RAM voltage for SB is 1.5v & it's risky to go above that! That got me concerned coz I already bought 16GB XMS3 which runs at 1.65v! 
So guys, what should I do? should I downvolt it to 1.5v just to be safer? or do I let my mobo take care of it by setting it to Auto?

Try auto, if it crashes then undervolt but you may need to decrease the clockspeed of the rams, go down one level(according to its jedec specs), but its always not safe to undervolt any component below its recommended voltage.
If all fails sell the ram at ebay or something and get certified rams, ddr3 is dirt cheap these days.
Hmm.. I haven't done that before.. sounds risky! But my mobo has MemOK button.. hope that'll come handy!
BTW, specs page at Corsair.com says "Tested Voltage 1.65v & SPD Voltage 1.5". What does that mean? What's SPD Voltage?

The info. in the SPD is the default timings for the individual RAM. DDR3 industry default voltage is 1.5 V. Increased RAM voltage is often required to run the RAM stable at a higher frequency. You can try 1.5 V and see if your PC is stable but more than likely to run higher RAM frequencies you will need to increase the RAM voltage to match the label on your RAM as that's how it was tested and speed graded.
So basically, put the ram in, run it, if it crashes then change the voltage to 1.65v and try to run it again, if it becomes stable then run it like that, I've known a lot of users running ddr3 rams at 1.65v without any issues, most asus and gigabyte mobos can run this, intel mobos are not so good with high voltages.
More clockspeed=More voltage.
Core i7 2600k is available at smc @ 16.9k
here's the OG post by Jas :
^^ That mobo can be purcahsed at 12k though and Asus has two more P67 mobos ie P8P67 @ 10.5k and P8P67 Deluxe @ 15k.
So how many of you are going to grab this or you guys will wait for Z68 to use the every features offered by this wonderful cpu.

Z68 FTW!! P67 is so damn stupid.

Z68 = P67 + IGP or H67 + OC
And SSD Caching.
Anything else that makes it worth, because its kinda useless for someone that is getting a GPU??
