Great discussion. |

I'm in a similar situation. I'm using a core2duo for about 5 years, and I |
| 4 |
think it is time to upgrade it. |

But, after reading this, there are still to doubts: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
1) r the amd processors really fully supported? When I compile my kernel |
| 9 |
(amd64), for instance, while looking for "Processor Type" there are 3 |
| 10 |
options for Intel and just one for AMD. Wouldn't it be kinda generic? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
2) durability: I'm kinda traumatized with AMD. Maybe I didn't have luck, or |
| 13 |
Brazil is just too hot, but before I change to Intel, I had to buy a |
| 14 |
computer a year: mobo problem, socket changed, then replace everything. I'm |
| 15 |
very exited with the AMD advantages discussed here, but If it is to last a |
| 16 |
year, I'm out. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Back then, when I used amd, I liked the performace and the price very much. |
| 19 |
I found out about and came to |
| 20 |
Gentoo just when I was looking for a optimized distro to my brand new |
| 21 |
athlon64 processor - that lasted a year. |

Thank you, |
