If it isn't obvious, you can buy an expansion card for $10-20 that adds 4 sataII ports to your motherboard that lets you get past the motherboard fail. If you are buying a new machine and wanted to wait until the problem was resolved, both newegg and Asrock have pledged to help when replacements come out. I am not worried in the least.
Don't let this get you down on SB, its a big step past 1156/1366 in performance IMO. Really, not that big of a problem. I love 4.4 ghz at stock voltage on my 2600k.
