Not that I am a AMD protagonist, but:<br /> <br /> AMD does(did?) manufacture some chipsets before, for the MP Platform, which were 760MP and 760MPX), those were indeed very reliable and not many drivers had to posted for them.<br /> <br /> As for Intel:<br /> <br /> 1 - Wasn't it intel, who's processors didn't calculate correcly in their first incarnation ?<br /> 2 - There was a reason why people didn't like to move away from the 440BX and then were &quot;forcefully&quot; moved<br /> 3 - Wasn't there a certain chipset for P3s with a faulty Memory Hub ?<br /> 4 - Werent there chipsets from intel which needed &quot;accelleration&quot; drivers to speed up ?<br /> <br /> However recently intel seemed to have steered out of trouble, yes that is correct, but that is really fairly recent and as such it has to be compared. I just do not think intel makes so little mistakes that the heavenly tone of this article is appropriate.<br /> <br /> Just my 2 cents.<br /> <br /> Gompf
