Hi, So you have no RECENT experiance with AMD systems? PeterB On Friday 07 February 2003 02:51 pm, Greg Freemyer wrote:
Hamm...yes~~ , i have seen certain kind of IDE raid card only about 34 US and provide 2 channel ATA 100. But does AMD athlon + PC motherboard = stable ??? I never test this and have some doubt about it.
In my experience the highspeed AMD chips run fine until that $10 cpu fan dies.
Then you get to replace the CPU, the motherboard, the RAM, and maybe one or two other things.
We bought several 2+ GHz AMD based machines a year ago. Three of them had fan failures and the resulting damage before we gave up on AMD.
We now use/buy only Intel. Intel chips handle a fan failure much more cleanly.
