Not surprising. What we see, all the time, is that the mobo makers
just barely understand these tables, and usually get them quite wrong.
We've also seen cases where the MP table for one board was used,
verbatim, on a very different board. Finally, the vendors are always
willing to rewire bits of the board, but don't quite get around to
updating the table.

Short form: PC hardware is crap.
