RE: time to compare processors again

I have been running AMD processors for 6 years and have no serious
problems with them.  I would state that most problems ppl believe are
caused by processors are caused by cheap motherboards and cheap memory
(very cheap memory from Best Buy etc...)Intel has the market share, but
if you look deeper at the numbers AMD actually has more of a foot hold
in the banking and insurance industry, along with the small gain over
Intel in universities.  All 3 of these areas depend on the reliability
of the chip.  I do not dislike Intel at all, this is not an anti Intel
reply.  My IBM notebook runs great with the P3.

but that isn't my question. Is AMD really reliable now? Some people are
having to reinstall their SW.
