For a little more than two weeks I am a new owner of a AMD 1.4Ghz with DDR memory.
Coming from a P-I 100 , I must say I feel like steering a rocket!
I do not regret so far the choice and made a lot of research on the net and mags around before making the decision. AMD was the final choice.
I am using WinME and I had some problems with him. Nothing worth of smashing the computer , but in general a nice system..if you don't have the W2K or the 98SE
Go for the AMD!
