choose d*** configuration

Please, learn from linux mistakes.
Lets make intel haswell 100% compatible for people who would actually buy new computer and they would want it to be 100% compatibile with haiku. How else I ask you? Linux is much much bigger project and there is no 100% guarantie that you will buy somethong nee bug free. Please dont mrntion eindows because they actually have paud developets amd your hardware will work
eventually very good.

Now rant. Alternative is this. You have everything working but wifi, or mouse, or both. Or somebody said that this mbo with this chipset is working great but actually had really bad lag hdd IO. A nightmare that keep linux desktop hovering at 1-2%. And yes that is hard truth that free and virus free os is at frikin 2% adoption.

most of that has nothing at all to do with compatibility with haswell processors (which is 100% already) or a given chipset.

You know that haiku is 100% compatibile with intel haswell?! Well, that is nowhere written. And that should be written on front page bold font. Somehow people who make decision do not consider it important to emphasize importance that thos hardware will work with this OS, if not, its serious bug. And not sit as bug for years like in linux world.
