Astrix, if you're asking about AMD CPUs in general and not 64-bit
exclusively, here's my experience in brief.
For the last 3 yrs, I've had at least two AMD computers in my home at any one time, running an average of 15 hrs a day. I've built over 100 AMD machines for others too and not a single one has failed.
Three of them suffered lightning strikes at different times through networks and they all survived. One had only the discrete LAN card destroyed while the other two had integrated LAN ports and the motherboards had to be replaced (mobo chips literally blown apart, the network switch a charred mass). But the CPUs all ran normally the next day.
That's how tough they are - and probably Intel CPUs too in this
respect, though I've used a much smaller number of Intel systems.
I've built only a relatively few 64-bit machines and of course, they've
been around only a short while. Needless to say, they're doing well.
