[TriLUG] AMD and reliability

[Warren Myers]

I've been running AMD for several years, since switching from Cyrix 
processors in the late 90's, and haven't had any problems with them. I've 
personally owned 3 AMD-based systems, which have all been rock solid.

Shortly before I graduated from the 2-yr school I went to in NY in 01, they 
upgraded almost every machine on campus to AMD Athlons, and they were far 
more stable than the Intel machines had been, running the same OSes.
