Hint: one company issues a recall, while the other one says to ignore parts that cause instabilities, and posts a web page listing which parts are actually ok to use. Actuall I think one company just ignores their customers and leaves it to hardware reviewers to post which graphics cards will not be destroyed by their motherboards.

"Hint: one company issues a recall, while the other one says to ignore parts that cause instabilities, and posts a web page listing which parts are actually ok to use." Hint #2: "one" company just decides to drop 3.3V signalling support for their own AGP 4x standard (cutting off how many AGP boards that otherwise was ok to use?), and posts no web page about this... I wonder why would that "one" company do it if everything was rock-solid stable with 3.3V AGP-4x before? Or it was not? Don't be ridiculous, Wanna...

wbmw, Hint: one company issues a recall, while the other one says to ignore parts that cause instabilities, and posts a web page listing which parts are actually ok to use. How about the recall of 820 with MTH? How did Intel recall all those chipsets in 3rd party motherboard, sold to people by "4th party" OEMs or dealers? How about the PCI problem that persisted from 840 to 850? How about the newly discovered problem with older AGP cards? (Intel invention, Intel spec, Intel chipset/motherboard). What has been recalled? Everything has been sweapt under the rug as far as I know. As far as AMD compatibility list, it has to do with what product have been tested, and which products meet AMD specs. For example, there were some motherboards out there that did not meet AMD's requirements for 266 MHz FSB and PC2100 DDR, only 200 MHz. How is this "ignoring instabilities"? It is actually pointing out instabilities in 3rd party products, so that when a consumer buys 266 MHz FSB processor AMD recommends motherboards that work within this spec. Joe PS: This FUD is boring, each side can come up with examples of instability of the other side, and it is just a waste of time.
