Hi JD_Canuck; Re instability of AMD vs. Intel processors. The i850 chipset's been out for almost a year. The Athlon XP has been out for a few weeks. In addition, Intel sells to a different market than AMD, and so there's different expectations of performance and stability. My AMD workstation doesn't hang, but I didn't specify one that was state of the art. I never buy PCs unless they've been on the market for 6 months. As far as what this has to do with RDRAM vs. DDR, well, *soon enough you'll be able to compare apples to apples because Intel is coming out with their own DDR chipset for the P4.* And so the question becomes, will Intel position the DDR P4 for sales to business? If they do, then they'll have to get stability up to a high enough level for that. -- Carl
