rofl yea probably.. except i hadn't had a stable amd since my k6 when i was like 13..
to make a long story short i first bought into the amd side of things ... but then the whole amd not working well with via bridges.. which at the time seemed to be the only mobo's i had around me to work with..
but i haven't had an amd since my t-bird flaked out.. :\ strangly enough i had to use a p3 for months and it never had a problem and i'd kept it on for months at a time. when i was looking for a new pc, stability became a key factor and based on my previous expierence i went with intel.
but.. i've built acouple pc's for people in the last few years and i have to admit we ussually end up going with amd based on price ;) and the new processors seem fairly stable (and cooler).
so anyway the only real problem i've had with this chip was keeping it cool the first summer i had it :p
but yea maybe i'm a noob, there's just something seared in my memory about having to reset irq's over and over .
