Schultz - I have an AMD and have never had a probelm, however, if you are going to get AMD, get a Abit mobo. They are the best and most simple to use. AMD processors are extreamly easy to install.
Well i have seen many friends that have had there motherboard cause problems.. one friend his ATA controller went out and started giving weird read / write errors to his disk on his mb..
Another friends (note this is long ago) his 3dfx 3500 would absolutly not work with his AMD board and chipset. and also 1 of his memory connections on his MB went out.. he had alot of problems with it..
And i have seen many others.. Also i like how AMD's if something goes wrong with your CPU fan can basically fry your CPU and MB.. while P4's would lower speed and such..
For me i just like higher quality of Intel.. And anymore processors are the same prices..
Though i will admit i am looking at building a AMD64 machine to try the 64bit processor out with linxu.. Since microsoft don't have a true 64bit os out yet..
Nina182B - It depends on what server you are playing on.. I only played on Napa Valley if that is still there.. Also i was playing when they changed from the old rank system to the new one with karma's etc.. and that you actually had murder counts etc.. I played the game from when it started for like 3 years.. they just messed it up way too much..
