Not sure if this makes a difference, but I have never had an Intel chip always AMD and one Cyrix (when their chips were good). But I have been complaining about Windows crashing on my machine to everyone and it has come to my attention that a lot of people don't have these problems. Those people that don't always have an intel chip. Just yesterday I watched a friend of mine's Win98 crash horribly about 5 times in an hour. He is the self proclaimed Blue Screen King. However, he, like me has an AMD chip. So I am wondering if I can take a pole to see if people whose machines often crash have an AMD chip?
Boyd P.S. I found that ocasionally Linux locks up on my machine when playing Unreal Tournament. But I think this is due to poor ventilation on my chip which is a whole other argument about heatsink/fan engineers that design their fan to sit right where the motherboard power supply goes.
