Something interesting from Sharky's: sharkyextreme.com "We've received several requests from readers lately to comment in more detail regarding the level of stability that our Athlon-based PCs have exhibited in their four-month stay with us. To be more specific, in our opinion once the Athlon systems are up and running they are incredibly stable processing platforms. In fact, when logging miscellaneous errors and lock-ups we've found that the AMD-750 chipset is roughly as stable as the time-tested Intel 440BX chipset. That's quite a testimonial considering the disastrous stability level of the then-new AMD Super7 platform in 1997 and early 98, which was about as stable as a tectonic plate fault line. As third party Athlon chipsets begin to show up on the market over the next few months we'll be watching closely to see if they're able to maintain the strong stability precedent that the AMD-750 chipset has set.
