the new B3 stepping boards will start shipping within this month , good part is that you will be getting AWR as soon the RMA process starts free of cost.

further the new B3 stepping will have a guidance on the model# thats what i have heard. will get details.
What you are saying is that if i were to buy a B2 stepping board TODAY (Asus of course), i'll be eligible for a free swap once you get the new b3 boards??

I would have preferred if Asus sold the faulty boards at a lower price rather them virtually throwing them away...

Sure you gonna get replacement for ASUS boards as well :)
Let me put it this way. I have this board, say asus the vanilla p67 model. I got it from say Newegg. Would I be able to get a replacement here, OR the replacements would only be for models that are purchased from Asus Pakistan (either Shing or the new 'asus')

Most likely yes :)
Even if purchased from the current distributor?

In that case I dont think ASUS pakistan will be replacing boards bought from Newegg. But i'll update you on that.

the only difference is the 2mb cache and the Hyper Threading 4 cores with 4 threads on the 2500K as opposed to 4 cores and 8 threads with the 2600K . And yeas i have seen ppl doing 4.8ghz stable with Corsair H50 and 5ghz can be done ..

here is comparison between i5 2500 k And i7 930 see the gain for ur self
