I have never owned an Intel box. My first >486 was a Cyrix 120MHz (a terrible waste). After that, it was straight AMD. Started at the K5, moved to the K6, K6-2, K6-3, an Athlon slot-A, and several Athlon Thunderbirds. I'm currently running a 900MHz Thunderbird and am still loving it. I had to replace my motherboard recently. Replaced it with some standard motherboard that is rated to support all AMD socket processors from Thunderbird to XP, 400MHz FSB or under. If i feel the itch to upgrade anytime soon, it'll be easy for me to simply swap out the chip for a nice XP. And even nicer.. the price should be low by the time I'm interested.
