Re: [newbie] Requesting hardware advice for AMD based machine. jrt

There's an interesting article at Anandtech,
http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1456&p=1, about how they ran into
trouble running their webservers on AMD-based systems.

It's worth a read, just to see how they implemented a large-scale site with
a Linux-based load balancer, in addition to the hardware troubles.

Nathan

I've been using amd processors with linux since
mandrake 6 without any problems.  I've currently got
an asus a7v with a western digital HD running reiserFS
in mandrake 8.0 without any problems at all.

AMD is a great choice for a linux box.
