The only bad experiences I have had with AMD were directly related to
mobo's.
I currently run SuSE 9.3 64bit on MSI Via Chip based mobo with AMD 3200+
64bit processor
I "tried" out several 64bit OS's on this box (Fedora Core 64bit, Ubuntu
64bit, Gentoo 64bit, Debian Woody 64bit, etc...)
All of which were stable but not quite what I had in mind for a desktop
machine. SuSE is where I landed.
That being said, that was my first AMD based machine in a long line of
Intel based machines.
Thanks,

The opinion of the masses seem to be that, yes, I am the expection to
the rule with the problems I have had with AMD processors. I would
like to go the 64 bit route and I like dual core chips.
I guess I am looking for an opinions. If price where not an issue
would you build an AMD system or an Intel system. The OS I will
likely use is Debian Sarge. The machine will be a server (i.e.
doesn't need pretty graphics, will likely spent most of it's time
chugging along at run level 3 in CLI mode). With this kind of system
requirements in mind what would you build?
