I've never had a problem with using AMD chips in my systems. I currently have three AMD systems, one a K6/2 400. That is my server. Heather's computer is an old Slot 1 Athlon 700, and my machine is an Athlon XP 2000+ running at 2.20GHz. Runs nice and cool at that. Paired with a GF3 Ti200, it actually performs quite nicely. Doesn't miss a beat doing what I need it to do. I paid $58 for the retail 2000+, and a comparable Intel proc was around $120. I already had the AMD motherboard, but you get the idea.
