They fixed the "R1=R3" problem on there site. Finally I can get the default drivers and my SD card slot is going to be working again! !

Unfortunatly, in the process, they broke the drivers for the R2. Now, the site says there are 5 drivers available for me to download for windows 7 x64 and none of them are useful.



Lovely....

Nevermind, guess their system had a hiccup. All are showing now. Gotta love it when they change things. Definitely a sign something is coming up.

Yeap, the R3 I predict, is very close to release. I wonder what's different. A Sandy Bridges architect i7?

but whether it's a worthy upgrade is still in question.

540M is not very much of an upgrade.... I'm not so sure it'd be worth it even from the R1.
