Your colleague is on something. On every system I've spec'd, the Intel
version has been more expensive than a comparable AMD system. You don't
have to go crazy with "high-quality" components to "stablize" an AMD
system. Just don't by the cheapest components you can find (something
you don't want to do with Intel either).
