I use
a Epox 8kta M/B it works very well. I'm running a Thnuderbird 800 on it -
I'm very pleased with the performance, stability and reliability of the
system. I'm running ML 7.1, windows me, BeOs Personal and they all coexist
well. The AMD is fater than the Intel chips at same clock speed for
sure.

-----Original Message-----I tend to build my Linux systems primarily on AMD chips. I have found them to be more stable and cost effective than the intel chips. I have also found that the AMD supported motherboards are typically built to be more robust than most intel supported boards. I would have to say that my only gripe is that no one seems to build a 1U rackmount specific montherboard.

The Duron CPU seems to cost less and perform equally to an Intel CPU. But I prefer input from users who are using AMD chips. I have a couple of concerns regarding the AMD processor. Is an AMD processor equivalent to an intel chip, in terms of instruction set, etc... Are the power supply requirements so rigid as mentioned in the AMD website? Will any hardware on an Intel system suit an AMD system? ANy recommendations of a good motherboard for a Duron processor. Appreciate any feedback from people who have/built an AMD system TIA Cheers Sridhar
