I had 2 old Cyrix chips, up till last year when I finally threw them out.

I still have a working Via C3 800 socket 370. As long as you werent gameing, Cyrix was ok, HOT! though, way hotter than the K6-2's

 Kinda disapointed Via doesnt make CPU's anymore, they were awesome for building cheap, web browsing pc's.

I have been building computers since the socket 7 days. my first AMD was a K6-2 300, had it running with a 3dfx Voodoo 3 3500, later upgraded it to a k6-2 500, but man that setup out performed my P2-350 everytime... Last Intel Chip I have built with was a P3, and my wifes old dell was a P4 2.5ghz....   it was ok, was limited to AGP4X.....but My single core AMD Athlon 64 1.8 ghz killed that P4 rig.... was like night and day, course I was using a gigabyte mobo with agp 8x :)

Ever since..I have stuck with AMD, and I really dont care what intel puts out, because even when my interest perks up, I go to CompUSA and play with the computers. Most of the time the intel machines are either locked up, or are choppy, while the AMD machines just plain run smooth, so I lose interest in intel, all over again. 

While I miss, 3dfx....AMD/ATI merger excites me! Soon I'll have matching parts for every pc I build. 

Did it once with an AMD all SIS setup, with a SIS Sabre 400 vid card, ran that for 2 years no problems, stable as all heck. 

 I stand by AMD till this day, and as long as there around, I dont feel the need to build an Intel Machine.
