heheh Well I'm kind of biased towards AMD anyway. I'm running the full 1Ghz
at home. Never had any problems so far :)Linux loves it. The only tweaking I
did was to the Hard drives by turning on dma and 32 bit mode. using the
hdparm command. hdparm -c1 -d1 -x32 /dev/hda
Man it Fly's! literally!

I think They actually got the 1Ghz working stable at 850Mhz =o\
If AMD can actually get a socket style chip back into production I think
the race might be over and the decision to chose one processor over another
will be a lot less questionable. I am running a 750 Athlon right now and it
litterally blew me away.
My 2 Cents

And AMD will always have the edge. Considering everything out of Intel now
days is vaporware. They can not even get their 1Ghz to run stable w/ a
custom chipset and mainboard.

until the pentium IV comes out, athlon processors have the edge.
