In essence, Intel identified a problem with the SATA 3 Gb/s on its Cougar Point chipsets last week. SATA 6 Gb/s ports are unaffected. The issue is hardware-related and requires a silicon-based fix at the metal layer, which of course means that all of the currently-shipping P67- and H67 –based motherboards are affected

I know very little about hardware.  What motherboards or processors would this affect?

Unless you have bought a computer in the last few weeks, nothing to worry about :D  It's also only the revision B of the chipset and not the CPU.  For the time being, seems most Sandy Bridge users just switched what SATA ports they were on and called it good.
