I am using an AMD chip and my system crashes too
often. The fastest TS processor you can buy is an AMD
1.4 GHZ. However, INTC has 90% of the market, and
everything is designed to work with it. AMD cpus need
a special power supply and cooling system to be
stable. Engineering tolerances (voltages, temps,
etc.) are smaller. Even if you want to spend the time
to get your cards working correctly, AMD systems are
not stable enough for trading purposes IMO. But if
you do go with AMD, get IWILL --- avoid ABIT
motherboards. Let me know if this does not answer
your question.
