My brother JUST ordered a new computer yesterday. He was unimpressed when I told him to expect a delay on that. :lol:

In my title I mention that NVIDIA is likely laughing it up as their neighbors in Santa Clara struggle with this issue. Not only was NVIDIA just recently guilty a recall-able offense with GeForce GPUs a couple of years back, but it would seem that Intel's deliberate attempt to push out all the competition in the chipset market has come back to bite them.



Not that Nvidia's Intel chipsets were any good anyway, but it would at least be something.

Looks like MSI made the most of the situation and made a new sticker!
