a. I do seriously think that they (AMD) should be given a fighting chance.
b. I haven't had any experience with an AMD chip machine.

I use a refurbished DELL Latitude 620. I have no complaints. Its fast
and runs UBuntu (configuring the wireless was tough though).
I have to confess that I am not a power user, most of my use is
