[QUOTE="D3tritus, post: 1028277, member: 67589"] Will do. :) A long time ago (in a galaxy far far away?) I bought an AMD processor for my main gaming rig. I had nothing but problems with it, not due to the silicon but down to poor hardware drivers. That was followed up with very similar issues with an AMD graphics card I bought (round about the Doom 3 era) which prevented me from playing a couple of games while they sorted out the issues. Since that point I've sworn off AMD hardware, they effectively lost me as a customer...my current HTPC rig has been singular in that it's provided me with a good five years or so of solid performance from AMD chipsets/drivers. I understand they're somewhat better these days and there's little arguing that their hardware performs very well and represents good value for money, I would just rather spend a little more on Intel (and nVidia if we're talking discrete gfx for gaming) and get something more reliable/stable.
