Heh.. this not being the 2cpu forums you probably don't know this..

The original rev of the MPX chipset *did* ship with broken USB. Arguably, it wasn't really broken, but there was a problem that was only caught right before shipping. To be safe, they (they being AMD) disabled the onboard USB and supplied a USB PCI card instead.

Now, however, the problem has been fixed on the new revs of the chips, so everything is pretty much OK now, though it's new enough that telling people you got one with "fixed USB" isn't really uncommon or unreasonable.
