ASUS to begin shipping updated Intel® Sandy Bridge desktops

Based on new information from Intel®, ASUS is happy to announce that updated Sandy Bridge-based products will begin shipping this week*, immediately after the revised design is released by Intel®. This fast response aims to prevent any further inconvenience and interruption to customers.
