I run mostly AMD systems here. Currently have systems ranging from an older K6 233Mhz up through K7 XP2400+ several are subjected to near constant disk activity (one is in use as a PVR). Recently had a lockup of my K6 300Mhz, but that appears to be related to repeated lost interrupts to the main IDE drive (monitoring it now). Other than that recent lockup, I can't say I've had any problems with my AMD systems. -- Jamin W. Collins Linux is not The Answer. Yes is the answer.
