Got my P5 from Amazon today. It was already patched! No warning sticker on the box! Chapter 3 on page 21 warns not to install the updates... by the time I got to that, I had already installed and was working on the patches. If you get one of the newly shipped versions, make sure to check the manual before you start patching. Other than that, so far P5 rocks. But I am running WinXp Pro on a dual Athlon with 512MG of DDR ram... best, e.d.
