No, something is wrong with the BIOS. ;-)

Could you maybe give me an example from the board of your choosing
of a DMI table print out, explain the format and then show how to use  
it?
I'd like to show it to our BIOS writers. Ideally, maybe somebody could
post a good suggestion for a standardized format? (Though that's very
optimistic, but maybe cpu vendors can make suggestions to board makers?)
