Yeah I've heard rumors to that effect. Iirc my first serverboard, an Intel dual socket 771 s5000vsa4dimmr ssi-eeb EATX behemoth didn't have sloppy support. Which was so weird to me. I had to sell it.
Luckily I found a 5170 a few years ago. These 2 ~18 year old kids were carrying it out to the road. They looked at me dumbfounded. But everyone in NJ always looks that way. Apparently it was dad's work at home computer. He worked for a little known outfit known as Chase. Said the badge stuck to the side anyway. Kelly Leavitt said he once found a puter that belonged to an ObGyn. I had to ask - were there any pictures on it LOL LOL LOL. What the!

Many no longer even support floppies!
