Estimated loss for Intel is $1b. Nothing more than that.This is a massive recall excercise by INTEL will cost INTEL billions of dollars. This is similar to a recent recall by TOYOTA for its cars which costed them billion + billions of dollars.
I haven't completed it yet, Jas! Started on Sunday, finished with mobo, proccy, odd & hdd & but then I came down with chicken pox the next day!

Nice post, but please, STOP USING ALL CAPS, it's harder to read that way.^^^^^^Its just temporary solution for p67/h67 chipset.
As the time goes by the sata ships performance diminishes with time and at the later stage it just goes dead.
if u are already having p67 and h67 chipset u can do following to save some time on the motherboard till the replacements arrive....as the replacements will not come untill april~may (2~3 months).
u can do following things to prevent save sata burnups:
1. CONNECT UR MOSTLY USED DEVICES SUCH AS HARD DRIVE TO SATA 6GBPS PORTS AS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THEM.
2.CONNECT UR MOSTLY USED DEVICES SUCH AS HARD DRIVE TO THIRD PARTY SATA 3GBPS PORTS AS THEY ARE THIRD PARTY CHIPSET.(although some motherboard dont have third party sata chipset.)
3.CONNECT UR RARELY USED DEVICES SUCH AS DVD-DRIVE TO SATA 3GBPS PORTS AS IT WILL NOT CREATE A PROBLEM AS THEY ARE RARELY USED AS COMPARED TO HARD DRIVES.IF U USE FREQUENTLY THEN CONNECT IT TO ABOVE MENTIONED PORTS IN 1. & 2.
(DO STRICLY REFER TO MOTHERBOARDS USER MANUAL BEFORE APPLYING CHANGES)
(And sorry for my bold letters,its essential for some people to understand whats written and keep that in mind when doing the changes)
This is just the remedy if u have already purchased the p67 or h67 chipset,if u have not purchased and plan to do so my opinion is to wait till the issue gets sorted out.
Thank You.
Its not asus's fault, I can bet its Rashi upto its sneak tactics again, bunch of @$$&^%$ , don't trust any companies(not even msi, gigabyte etc) as recalling is done by the distros in India and I doubt any distro in India will undertake this huge task, don't take chances, when buying the mobos check the mfg date, better to buy mobos with mfg date set at march or later, or better just buy z68 when it comes.dont buy asus they arent racalling.
