It sure does when the BIOS offers you no way to turn off the (hardware-
controlled) monitor blanking. Makes it awfully hard to watch a movie
if you have to hit a key every ten minutes to keep the screen from
dying (since video traffic doesn't count as activity to the VIA BIOS
I had).

Sell CPUs at the speed they're capable of, rather than specing them
way lower than they can go and charging more for it.
