Was just about to say the same thing. Maybe its a combination of certain components. I've been using the Striker II for about a month. Solid as a rock.

Maybe its just certain manufacturers?

I was kinda thinking something like that, that maybe it`s the mobo manufs utilitization of the chipset rather than merely the chipset itself.

Who knows, but if nVidia are doing some sorting out work on it, then they must have a finger in the problem to atleast some extent.
