thought some might be interested in this - i know i am since i just got one of those

It actually isn't the Sandy Bridge processors, but rather the new Cougar Point Chipset that's soon to be released (Intel 6 Series). The Sandy Bridge architecture aren't affected by this, but rather the new Chipset that supports Sandy Bridge.

Quote from Intel;

Intel has corrected the design issue, and has begun manufacturing a new version of the support chip which will resolve the issue. The Sandy Bridge microprocessor is unaffected and no other products are affected by this issue.

So, Edad, you can take a breath of relief now! Same goes for every other that might be on the Sandy Bridge architecture.
