Snag in 780G Chipset

Apparently there is a little known problem with the recently launched, highly popular 780G chipset. The 780G is supposed to support all the Phenoms but the current A12 version motherboards that are onsale now will not support HT3.0 on the upcoming low power consumption 9150e with B3 stepping(2 weeks till march 26th launch). These processors will use HT2.0 instead on the 780G. The problem will only be fixed on the A13 revision of the 780G, so there will be no big performance boost over the X2 using this particular Phenom. Its a shame cause I was looking to build a system using this particular chipset/CPU.
