I have repurposed motherboards and processors over the years. Now that Intel has decided to remove support and all drivers for their systems no longer produced from their web sites will this effect you decision to not buy their products in the future. For me this is a major issue, consider this a used intel motherboard for the most part is worthless if you cant get drivers for it. Now 3rd parties are offering drivers but how safe are they or even some are a scam asking you to pay for them. I never asked Intel to provide tech support over the phone but I did in many cases download drivers for system boards I had. Even the tools they provide to check your drivers are worthless saying access to their server is denied. So much for Intel, I will be taking a closer look at 3rd party mb vendors and Intel can suck it. In a way this shows how stupid they aare, AMD has made major strides in closing gap in processors, add the fact they are way cheaper and Intel's new position on support, bye bye for me!
