First of all, I'm not saying that AMD processors aren't stable. I'm sure they're just fine. I'm saying that I've heard that they're more picky about drivers and BIOS settings when running 3D games with the latest AGP video cards; settings that I don't want to have to waste time researching.

And for those who asked: the articles to which I refer were printed articles in PC Gamer magazine. I don't have an online link, and I don't remember which issues they were in.
