Reliability and accuracy

It seems to me that DMI is a low priority for aftermarket motherboards, to the extent that much of the information provided through DMI is either blank, mislabeled, or buggy. Popular diagnostic tools seem to rely somewhat heavily on DMI and as a result they often report incorrect parameters. Because the integrity of the data is so low, it somewhat defeats the purpose of having the feature. A person trying to diagnose obscure low-level problems with a PC cannot rely on the data from DMI. It seems to have little real purpose other than to whet the curiosity of technophiles. 99.4.76.54 (talk) 08:02, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
