AMD is cheap and fast. I was an AMD fan before until I bought this
AMD K6-II 500MHz a year ago. After building my own PC from parts I bought
from several places, the system can not install any OS. Not wanting to
surrerder, I did everything I can until I found out that the only way I
could install an OS is by disabling the level 2 cache. It worked but the
whole system became excruciatingly slow. Slower than a 486. That time I
decided to return the cpu and motherboard and pay a P1.5K premium for
Celeron 500MHz. Since then, the system has not let me down.
I am not from Intel either.
