This was legitimately something, but mostly back in the days of OG DDR and single data rate DIMM's. In those Wild West times, it was not unheard of for specific brands or models of RAM being not quite compatible with various processors or motherboards. (And there was little enough selection between few enough brands that it was actually feasible for motherboard manufacturers to maintain a list!) These days it's extremely uncommon.
