AMDs do run hotter, but I don't think it's anything to worry about. I haven't had an intel since my 200mhz mmx, and I haven't had any problems with any of the 5 or 6 AMDs I've had since then. I'd vote AMD.

now officially a troll, i guess. used to have a black 96 SE, until it broke down one too many times. now I'm hunting for a motorycle.
