Aaron Brezenski has been at Intel (Chandler, AZ) since 1995 and has been a product engineer for most of that time. He currently manages a team of product development engineers in ATM.

The first couple weeks of motherboard availability on Intel's latest and greatest integrated graphics chipset have been tumultous.
