I went up to the TigerDirect store in North Raleigh
Sunday to see what they had.

I got:

Acer Veriton M410
Windoze Xp Pro SPII
1GB DDRII
AMD Sempron 3800+
160GB SATA
Built in video/LAN/sound

Brand new, not a refurb.

$379.00 plus tax.

After studying and then the advice of a real, genuine person that is
degreed and works in the IT field (not plays one in rec.boats!), I
also went with the AMD chip. It consitently clocks faster than Intel
chips of the same variety. Never had a problem with it.

I haven't owned an Intel chip since my first experiences with AMD....

At one time, several years ago, like 12 or so, there was a problem
with Autocad related to the AMD. I actually had the problem, or else
I'd find it hard to believe! No problems now with autocad, Revit,
STAAD, or any software that I know of.

That is hard to believe, obviously something to do with the
math co-processor.
