The problem with AMD's processors is that the only company that seems to
make motherboard chipsets for them is VIA, and they seem to be having
trouble making a product that is 100% stable. I'm sure that others have
had better luck than I have, but my experiences with VIA-based system
boards have not been pleasant ones.
