The CPU has better performance than the Intel MMX at the same speed. I tested 2 identical systems but the CPU. The AMD is about 10% faster. I use some no name MB and it works very good, I don't get crashes at all, neither Linux or Windows. I bought the board from Mor Levi and the CPUs 2 from Mor Levi and one from Spiritus. I saw that someone else pointed that Omnitech has ASUS boards. If you encounter problems there, ask for Filip. Tell him I (Valentin) sent you. I worked there some time agao and hi's a good man, and a friend of mine. Also at Omnitech you will usualy get good support. Go AMD go! Valentin -- Have a nice day!
