I am rather a newbie, but I chose a AMD K6 CPU for my custom built PC
because I have heard so much good about it.  I even think I heard that AMD
may soon outpace PII, but I don't know if this is just talk or not.  I have
an AMD K6-2 333, on an Asus P5A motherboard, 64 megs PC-100 RAM, ATX case,
(and a bunch of other stuff that is over my head!)  So far, it runs Win98
great.  I never even worried about how Win98 would run with an AMD CPU,
because more and more commercial ("Big Name") computer manufacturers are
offering it with their new Win98 systems.  It is so much cheaper, and from
what I can tell, and an excellent CPU.   I suspect that anyone who tried to
dissuade you from AMD has something else up their sleeve, or are
misinformed.  (When I was pricing out PCs, I went to one shop, and told the
earnest young man my computer preferences.  When I mentioned that I wanted
AMD, not Intel, his face lit up, and he gave me a "thumbs up".  Obviously he
felt the same way I did about it!)
