Dave, I bought mine from a local screwdriver shop since I was rushed to buy one and it is very stable and fast. Luckily I did not get a bad apple. The chance are getting a bad apple is much less with tier one OEM's since they make sure all the components are compatible (through extensive testing) and all the drivers are preinstalled.

I strongly recommend buying from HWP, GTW or CPQ. A small premium is worth it IMO.

On some benchmarks, clock for clock, Coppermine are faster, on some Athlon is. But, for any given price, Athlon powered computer will give you the best performance.
