I haven't noticed a difference. At work we have a dual Athlon MP 1900+, at
home I have an Athlon XP 1700+ and I just built a system for my mother that
is Athlon XP 2000+ based. I can't complain about stability or other problems
on any of these systems. The dualie runs redhat 7.3, the others run Debian
sid.
I think the most important thing is to remember that just because the Athlon
is lower cost do not be cheap with other components. Regardless of Intel or
AMD if you go with cheap mobo, ram and *especially* power supplies you are
asking for trouble.
