I am in dire need of a new machine. I'd like a new workstation, but a<br>
server is a must. This would be a great system for a LAMP box but<br>
sadly I wouldn't take an AMD system if it was given to me. I have<br>
tried so hard over the years to like AMD but it has never paid off.<br>
- From systems that would run so hot they could double as my gas furnace<br>
in the winter to systems that are so pathetically slow they aren't<br>
worth keeping around, and I'm talking about new systems! I recently<br>
bought a Turion 64 X2 and in the end gave Best Buy $150 bucks to take<br>
it back because it was awful.<br>
<br>
I had a Duron 350 once that rocked. It was cool and blew away every<br>
pentium processor I had at twice the speeds. AMD realized how fast<br>
they Duron line was, as it was killing the Athlons at the time, and<br>
they killed it off. Now the Duron lives on in the Turion series but<br>
they don't even compare.<br>
<br>
Am I just having bad luck with AMD or are others experiencing this? I<br>
seriously would like to know because I've seen some screaming deals on<br>
quad core and tri core machines I'd love to pick up, but seriously am<br>
too scared to lose the money on another piece of junk. I think I've<br>
had 6 AMDs in the last 15 years and have only been happy with 1. Intel<br>
on the other hand I've had dozens and loved them all... (except the<br>
celeron).<br>
