<Re: AMD / Intel recommended lists>

The reason I am asking is that such a list may imply AMD's indirect acknowledgment that system instabilities exist. It's important to distinguish between defective parts causing instabilities, of which neither Intel or AMD are immune, versus certifiable good parts causing instabilities. I think OEM's who evaluate and put together such systems can make these distinctions. If these occur much more often on AMD systems then maybe AMD is forced to limit the HW components that solidly work with the CPU ( thus a recommended list ). While it may not be the CPU, I am sure OEM's take note of such behavior. Maybe it is these impressions that prevent major OEM's from building commercial systems based on AMD processors?

PS. Instabilities is probably too strong a word. Maybe it should be replaced by incompatibilities.
