My AMD comment was merely an observation I have made over the past few years. It just seems to me that AMD users seem to encounter more issues than Pentium users, and I don't mean just Poser. I am talking about video games and other software. My opinion is that it has to do with the differnt multimedia instruction sets. But again, this is just an opinion based on observation over the course of the past couple of years. I have no problem with AMD, if nothing else, their business model over the past few years has led to cheaper Intel boxes for me ;-)
