Wheather you have an Athlon or a PIII you will not see much differance
in performance unless you do a lot of gaming or running apps which make use
of SSE instructions.
Any "problems or flackiness" that any OS has with either processor is
usually caused by the MOBO chip-set and not
because the of brand you buy.
