it was the most unstable system i have ever used ....
every week without fail it had a problem .. this was on win 98 with all updates etc.. even took it to a pc genius he said throw it in the bin ...
built a celeron 950 system at the same time .. thats still going strong (4 years old) even running xp pro on it now


but seriously .. its down to preference amd chips are cheaper than intel ..
