When you say that this software is very vague, that right there tells me
this is absolute rubbish. The processor is instruction compatible with
intels x86, and of course amd previous cpus.

The big story is what the athlon does better than the rest.

This is just one happy Athlon 500 user talking :)

If your serious about building a system, check out the AMD website for the
approved components list. This will make the job easier and painless.
