Greetings to all,
Has anyone heard of any networked desktop problems that have been proven to
be due to AMD processors?
I'm a network admin, and I've got a consultant who is advising that we
purchase some AMD powered desktops. In the past my attitude has been to
always purchase pentiums - simply because I do NOT have the time to worry
about possible processor conflicts (there's FAR too many other issues for
admins to fret about!) Not that pentiums are perfect, but the user base is
so massive that it's likely enormous pressure will be brought to bear on
those responsible for any problems. It's also my hunch that any performance
gain from AMD would not be significant to my users. Finally, a pentium
problem is much easier to explain to management than an AMD problem.
I should mention that we are using Win2k servers, Win2k3 servers, Citrix
(bigtime), AD, VPNs across several sites, wireless networking, SQL, and
(soon) considerable multimedia technology.
Thanks!
