Hi All,
I found out that I have until May 15th to return my defective P67 MB back to Microcenter for store credit. While it's great the Intel fessed up to having a chipset problem and doing something about it, I'm extremely pissed that I have to disassemble my PC, drive all the way over to Microcenter and then assemble and debug the new PC again. I'm not trying to be whiney but as end customers, what are we getting out of this Cougar Point fiasco besides replacing a motherboard that should have worked in the first place with a newer one?
I don't enjoy building PCs. It's a PITA for me. It's something I hope to keep to a once every three year cycle. Now I have to do it all over again after 2 months. Is anyone getting some kind of compensation for their time like extra store credit or a decent sized gift card? Intel should be doing more than just replacing its defective product. They should be compensating their end customers for this huge inconvenience as well. This entire process is probably going to take me at least 6 hours to do. I'm extremely POed about this especially since it is costing me a day of my time to do not to mention some money out of my pocket.
