According to one of my colleagues, AMD CPU's are indeed cheaper, but unless you a add high-quality motherboard, fan, powersupply, ... they can be unstable. If you do add them, he says the total system cost is about the same as intel. I have no real experience with AMD CPUs (we have one AMD 1600 at work, which seems to work well, and my main server at home used to be an amd 486, but I guess those don't count anymore) Frank > > any feedback if the sailing with amd processors is as smooth as intel > ones. > > -- > regards, > sandip p deshmukh > ------***-------- > If you put your supper dish to your ear you can hear the sounds of a > restaurant. > -- Snoopy > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
