For the past 7 years I have had nothing but AMD, besides a single Compaq laptop. I have, found problems mainly to be BIOS related and not CPU. Although, AMD give more heat, as I am sure you are aware. Heat is bad for processors, heat=resistance. It is also plausable to suggest the problems of your random crashes are heat related, remove your fan for instance and the CPU fails after a short period of time. Intel are prefered in the server role, I would therefore prefer to have Intel CPUs on my desktop. I do consider the Intel range to be more stable processors, simply because of their better architecture, and better heat emissions. However, on the positive side, AMD to have better performance per CPU cycle, so on that front I prefer AMD. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
