I've used AMD and Intel systems at home and at work for 15 years now. I wouldn't say either is strictly better than the other because it really depends on the application. I tend to prefer AMD for my home systems because its cheaper. I've never had any of my AMD systems die on me (i.e. bad CPU or bad motherboard), though my existing box has become more flakey with blue screens lately. However it had a bad video card in it so there's no way of knowing for sure where the fault lies.
I'd be hesistant to declare AMD hardware bad because a *motherboard* fails. I've seen DOA Pentium chips as well. Hell,I've seen whole batches of Dell laptops have to go back to Dell because they kept dying... ####################==============---- ----==============#################### # [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Jeff The Riffer - Drifter... - Homo Postmortemus # # Disclaimer: I am not a number, I am a free man, and my thoughts are my own. # # GCS$ d-- H++ s:++ !g p+ au0 a31 w+ v?(*) C++ UA P?
