Got to play with an Athlon64 3200+ on an Asus/VIA board yesterday. it was quite supple. the cooler did a good job of keeping the processor cool and it was also incredably quiet too (there was a quiet PSU on it too). Did not seem to have any noticable problems from what I saw... pretty impressive setup..."And yet, after spending 20+ years trying to evolve the user interface into something better, what's the most powerful improvement Apple was able to make? They finally put a god damned shell back in." -jwz

All this hasn't convinced me. I'm sticking with Intel, and will NEVER buy AMD again unless they improve the garbage that is their chipsets.BartComment

Thank God for AMD, without them computer prices would still be ridiculousy high. Let's hope they survive for some time yet, even if just to stop intel from overcharging us[size=1]D3/\/7YCR4CK3R

Yep, without AMD we would all be buying our shiny new Tualerons at 1.13GHz for around $1/MHz.Originally posted by DentyCracker

I'm sticking with Intel. They been in the biz since the beginning and it shows. I don't think AMD is any real competition for them except as a bargain alternative. And I'm not buying an unstable mess of a system just to save a few bucks. I tried AMD once, and will never again unless Intel falls flat on their faces. Not bloody likely.Originally posted by Kurt

This is why you buy Asus boards so you won't have any issues. It is worth the extra $$$Originally posted by The Rock

When I tried AMD (1800+), I tried 2 Asus boards, both top of the line, and I had nothing but crashes, spontaneous reboots, etc. HORRIBLE experience. Never again.BartComment

I tryed a 1700+ T-Bred and a Leadtek SIS 735 and liked it, no stability problems, they're now my brothers. I'll probably upgrade that to a Gigabyte SIS 748 and 2500+ Barton and build my dad a system with the previous config.
On the other hand, I cursed my days with Intel and i875 dual channel in the first months. Loved my 650MHz CuMine, 450 Katmai, 350 Deschutes and 266 Klamath, all on BX platforms.Comment

I agree, but most of the time they are superior boards.Originally posted by Technoid
