Greetings:
A client has asked me to get some opinions regarding AMD CPUs and
recommended motherboards. He's planning to replace an SMP system that
has apparently never worked quite right. He doesn't want another SMP
mobo, and a friend is advising him to go with a uniprocessor system
built around a recent AMD CPU. The recent JACK problem with AMD CPUs was
a revelation for me: I'd never had any problems with AMD chips, but now
I'm feeling reluctant to recommend them. Am I just being paranoid, or
are there particular reasons to go with Intel instead of AMD ? My
client is considering a P4 instead of the AMD, hence this infoquest...
Just so I can chirp in...
Also Athalon XP 2500. Newer (ish) mobo..Shuttle A39KN. I'm also
overclocking the sucker slightly at 1908mhz and it's seemingly stable.
Foobar on Pentium! :) I gave up spending the extra $100 smackers on them
things 3 boxes ago.
R~
Also, what's a recommended motherboard ? Are
there any mobos that
should definitely be avoided ?
TIA for any help you guys can proffer, it's much appreciated.
Best regards,
