    I don't recommend AMDs to others, but I have no qualms about anyone else buying them. I just won't...
    ¿Have you tried any K7/XP/A64/X2 in the pentium III/4/D era? By no means you can be dissapointed unless you always bought ultra-cheap(pcchips) motherboards and expect them to perform like high end ones.

    Similar to saying being dissapointed with a radeon 9800 vs geforce FX5000 or HD2900 vs GTX8800.

    Maybe prior to 1999 with a minority of motherboards(mostly low quality) for the K6-2. That could be a reason to be dissapointed.
