There are a few video cards etc that die when you try using AMD rather than Intel but usually you can find this out before you by the card. Other than that I've never had any hardware conflicts other than obvious shit like needing a compatible motherboard for the CPU. :) I think AMD CPU's run great and are a bargain for their price. I have a lot of experience with both Intel and AMD (among others) and have no complaints against either. *^*^*^* Have the courage to take your own thoughts seriously, for they will shape you. -- Albert Einstein On Wed, 11 Oct 2000, Ken Thompson wrote: > On Tue, 10 Oct 2000, you wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I am planning to build a 750 Mhz system with AMD's Duron processor primarily > > for it's cost benefit.
