Amd Processors are inexpensive and fun to play with. Great for gaming and general home use, but a little to unstable, thanks mainly because of the motherboard chipsets that support them. For business, you want nothing but Intel CPU mounted on a motherboard running an Intel chipset for stability.

Intel on Intel for business - if all you do is play games, you might as well go AMD for the perceived faster speed and falsely perceived lower cost because games are gonna tear up any OS anyway and you will be reformatting and reinstalling frequently for that reason - never mind the instability - you will never notice it.

I agree with GLC. I will build an AMD for a walk in customer, but I will build Intel only for a business. If a business wants to buy an AMD from me, I let them know it I will not support it and to call our system builder.

Now - a year ago I would have said go with a Duron for a budget business machine because it was both cheaper and a lot faster than a Celeron. Neither applies any more - the price of a Celeron 800 is maybe $5 higher than a Duron 800 and the speed difference is negligible. Smartest thing Intel has done all year is beef up the Celeron to make it competitive.

Howdy folks,
GLC, you might try a Tulatin. A rather impressive little "downsized" P4.

AMD for do-it-yourselfers who like to putter and for people ABLE to putter. Intel for those who don't know or don't want to putter!

Toaster: If the customer wants to spend more (which most do not) we do offer the P3-1.0 and the 1.2 Celery (Tuleron?) as an option over the 800 Celery, but for those folks we would rather step them up to a full size motherboard with a P4. The only boards with a socket 370 that are offered to us are micro i815's.
