CatLady, same here. The purchase cost of the PC amounts to only the value of a few hours of my engineer or programmer's time. Thus I buy groups of identical PC's from a namebrand. Same with software. One ugly trial use of CTXS Winframe (compatibility problems)convinced me to wait on the "real thing" from MSFT before going the multiuser OS route. Wintel may not be perfect, but at least the performance is predictable and can be maintained.

Offbrand stuff is OK to save a few bucks at home, but you don't risk your business productivity on it.

so basically what your saying is the staff at ibm are misinformed
because we both(along with ibm)know how important compatability is..and those idiots put the amd 266mhz chip in their flagship model.your argument stems from lack of facts.can you demo a problem amd vs intel?have you heard of one?(lately).
