Has anyone on the list has the same misfortune with AMD that I have
had?  Perhaps I am returning too quickly to the comfortable world of
Intel.

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?
