I waited till they started selling mobos with a big fat orange B3 on the box.
Reading about this sh*t right now... this actually explains a LOT. I'm pretty damn sure I had a recalled board, now. See, as the machine got older, I was running out of SATA ports - I just kept adding drives whenever I needed more space. Eventually I hit the the slower SATA ports, and some strange sh*t started happening. I lost a lot of hard drives - much more than I thought was normal. 2 or 3 drives would go in a year, and all on the 3GBps ports. This sounds like it might be related.
Of course, I lost two sticks of RAM last year, too.
That motherboard was definitely on the verge of death.
Oh hell, maybe I should make a post sh*tting on Intel now, too, just out of fairness.
