I've tested motherboards that wouldn't even get past POST despite multiple BIOS updates. One of the worst boards I ever got was a 955X board from Winfast shortly after Foxconn took over. It never actually worked, regardless of various processor and memory configurations and several new BIOSes.
I've tested boards from VIA that was supposed to work with I think it was DDR 266 memory or something along those lines, but it wouldn't have anything to do with the stick of Winchip memory that VIA supplied for testing.
I've tested IDE controllers from Promise that they shipped with non working firmware for no sensible reason.
I've tested ATI graphics cards (Rage Fury MAXX) that I don't think ever worked right due to poor drivers.
I've tested so many products over the years that I've forgotten about half of them, but at some point or another, every single company out there have released flawed products that simply doesn't do what they're supposed to do. Being an early adopter brings with it certain challenges, sometimes they're minor, sometimes you end up with a chocolate teapot...
