Me is okay, some problems with my Athlon/Asus A7V combo though! Keep
getting
a non-responding MSGVR32 which is a pain in the t*ts but other than that I
have no real complaints with ME which, incidentally, I now run on four
machines, definitely more stable than 98 or SE IMO but you must do a full
fresh install to the drive and not upgrade. Win 2K still better but no
cigar
and no support for games as such or some other little ditties that make
life
easier.

But to the point, I run an Athlon 700 and an Athlon 1100 both perform
excellently and I have no complaints at all about the processor and I knock
the sh1t out of 'em constantly, on thing though - get a 350W power supply.
Two 230W supplies so far and counting ;o)

I would echo Stuarts comments - I too am about to start putting together a
new PC to be may main workhorse machine, and I will be going AMD Athlon or
Duron, because they are considerably cheaper than intel equivalents, and
reportedly outperform them as well at the same clock speed. (No personal
experience of this, but it is wideley reported). Win2K Pro will be the
primary OS, - i "may" put a dual-boot with 98SE on there as well,
just in
case - I always think it's worth having more than 1 OS on a PC - if it goes
tits-up.com then you can't as easily boot it up to fix it, or you can't
just
reboot to the other OS if you just >have< to get soething done
quickly.
(which, after all, is always when you discover a non-bootable OS anyway,
right?)

Personally, I wouldn't touch ME with a very long shitty stick!

just my £0.02 as always.
