They may be lying about the capabilities of their products, but there's no way in hell that you'll get them on fraud for telling you their products aren't as good as they really are. If the lie were in the other direction, it might be an issue, but with processors that's never the case (except maybe with the p4, but we see where that went...).
This whole discussion reminds me a lot of the pentium 90/100 issue back when they first came out. The two chips were exactly the same as far as design and manufacturing go, but the 90s didn't pass all the tests that the 100s were forced to. Would you prefer them to market them as "Pentiums that should work at 100MHz but we can only get them to reliably function slower" or "Pentiums that definitely work at 90MHz"?
I'm using an Asus A7V (which is KT133) and 2.4.1 with no trouble at all. I have an Ultra160 drive, as well as a few ATA66s, and they've all worked fine with 2.4.x since the day 2.4.0 came out.

This one seemed to get /.ed pretty damn fast, so here's a mirror.
I hope they made this thing drool-proof...
And now, the truly 1337 can overclock before the fab!
