I have had an AMD 1 Ghz for 5 months. Always works great for me. Mother board is the most important consideration. Do your homework before buying one.

I think people find problems with both AMD and Intel in their higher end chips because they are not fully tested. I bet I could find just as many unhappy P4 Users. MotherBoards and such take awhile to catch up to the newer chips.

I try to buy mid line fully tested chips. Let other people work out the bugs in the new stuff. Saved me hundreds in extra costs.
