AMD is what I use and recommend. I own an Athlon classic slot A and a Duron
CPU. Although, I don't like the amount of heat that the big Athlon produces.
I've always built my systems from the ground up, so I am familiar with the
hardware. I am not always familiar with promotional material. What I did see at
AMD's Web site was some type of blurb about making Windows XP blazing fast or
something. You have to admit that there is some kind of marketing strategy
going on with the use of the letters XP in the processor name. And maybe
Windows XP uses the Athlon XP additional instruction set, which would be like
the difference between MMX and non-MMX back in the old days. 8-)
But, I have to admit that I wrote something without solid information.
