[TriLUG] AMD and reliability

[Lee Fickenscher]

I have to agree with Ken 100%.
I have found basically zero difference between the reliability of AMD  
and Intel. Your choice of motherboard and/or memory is much more  
likely to affect your stability than your choice of processor.
I generally choose AMD just because I feel that they have a better  
price/performance ratio. They certainly have a better power/ 
performance ratio lately with the exception of the Pentium M, which  
would probably be the only Intel chip I would choose to use over AMD.
