Well if it ain't the village _ _ _ _ _

Let me appologize for that right now, I just couldn't resist :)

Now, to be slightly more serious (Not really, just my opinions).

No, I'm just a regular smoe with a regular job. I don't have a super grab
bag of experience, I just know when smoke is being blown up my arse. I will
tell you right now, that any Athlon chip is more stable than a dual Intel
machine. The reason you hear of a few people with Athlon problems is because
we build, customize, and repair our own systems. The majority of the Wintel
group get their machines from Uncle Dell. He tell's you exactely what parts
to put in so their won't be trouble.

Windows is based on the X86 architecture. AMD and Intel both use the X86
architecture. I'd explain the history for you, but that would take too long.
It looks like you are trying to say RISC instructions are a bad idea???? If
this is true I won't dignify that with a comment.

See below for the responses to your tirade.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha..... Ha!

If you want to know what RISC is, visit Alpha processors, and see what speed
is.
