Real Lingoists don 't use AMD?! 2004-02-08 - By Guy McLoughlin

...For what it's worth, I've been using AMD CPUs for more than 10 years
now ( including several motherboards with VIA chipsets ) with absolutely
no problems what so ever. Here's the list of PC CPUs that I've owned
since 1988:
Intel 8086 8 Mhz ( turbo )
Intel 286 12 Mhz
AMD 386-DX40 Mhz
AMD 386-DX100 Mhz
Pentium 75 Mhz
Pentium 166 Mhz
Pentium II 300 Mhz ( x 2 computers, Intel chipsets )
Pentium III 600 Mhz ( x 2 computers, VIA chipsets )
Pentium III 1 Ghz ( x 2 computers, VIA chipsets ) )
AMD XP 1800 ( x 3 computers, VIA chipsets ) )
AMD XP 2600 ( nVidia chipset )
AMD XP 2400 ( current PC with nVidia chipset )
AMD 64 3000 ( current PC with VIA chipset )
...I've used these for absolutely everything, including heavy boughts of
video encoding that in some cases ran for several days.
My next computer will likely be built with a more powerful AMD 64 CPU,
because my experience with this CPU so far has been great.
Provided you don't have defective hardware, my guess is that somewhere
along the line there's a driver problem with your setup.
