My employer has replaced all of the PCs in my department with new Optiplex 740s that have the AMD Athlon 64. I gotta admit, it sure runs quieter than my previous Optiplex GX 240, and the Athlon just KICKS ASS when I compile .Net programs in comparison.
As long as they pay for it and support it, I'll use whatever they put on my desktop. |

AMD 64 rocks, one of the best chips ever.

| Pretty much anything is a huge upgrade from an Optiplex GX240. |
