>Mobo makers are hiding behind their QVL rather than making a functioning product.

How do you go from, "one particular mobo from one manufacturer is bad" to "all mobo makers are bad" and you attribute some sneaky malicious motive behind this.

That's too much anecdote and emotional spin for me.

I'm saying the AMD chipsets are bad, the mobo manufacturers don't really do anything different from each other these days, and they're hiding behind the very few parts that they qualify for their boards. If the RAM comes from a brand name, it should work in the motherboard regardless of QVL.

Don't get these problems on AMD server/workstation platforms. You don't get them anywhere on Intel. But hey, the main article here also gave the nod to Intel in chipset/driver so I must just be all emotional spin.
