Tony, Of course you wouldn't design in an AMD chip. The facts are that Compaq, IBM, HP, Acer, Sony and many others who are far more qualified than you have designed them in and are shipping them and making money with AMD's chips. In addition they are able to force Intel to slash it's prices. This weekend Fry's has a fully loaded INTEL PII 350 for sub $1000. On the issue of reliability there are many many factors. As someone who pretends they have some knowledge of the subject do you have any idea of the reliability of AMD's CPU's vs Intels. And also the reliability of CPUis in general vs the other system level components. PS, Short AMD and buy some Intel.
