Well I would not take too much notice of Intel v AMD You get what you pay for. "requires genunie Intel processor" Dont take any notice of this.It is rubish There is also a fair bit of carrying on about Software on this forumn. I would stick with 98se as XP still crashes except with Bill the Dills software. Had XP pro on my machine and nothing much had changed except Bill the Dill was trying to be even more invasive into my privacy. Went back to 98se.
