About the same. All of my own machines are AMD (even the 486SLC40 gateway, uh,
box... which isn't actually *in* a box, but I digress), as are all of those at
one of my favourite workplaces. Many others are Intel. The only ones I've ever
had trouble with are Cyrix and WinChips. OTOH I have some users who are Cyrix
and quite happy, including one using a Cyrix chip in a total PnP motherboard (he
just plugged the chip in and turned it on, no jumpers to set anywhere, and it's
been going fine ever since). I have not had any long-term WinChip users, let
alone happy ones. WinChips *suck*bigtime*.
