AMD tends to win this battle by price, but Intel tends to be a bit more rubust: I'm still running a bunch of P3 boxes and never get an CPU killed, but Athlon's ("plain", not notebook variants) can be easily burned by improper cooling. But with an good cooling (eg. NOT using cheap gel beared fans), I don't see major problems. So for most cases I personally prefer AMD simply by costs. BTW: I'd really interested in experience reports about completely different architectures (eg. RISC based). cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
