Subject: RE: AMD proc.
My system is
Athlon 500
Gigabyte 7IX motherboard
Matrox G400
Pulsar 1 + SRB
Win 98
Logic Platinum
AMD South/NorthBridge
Runs without problems but I haven`t tried with a lot of
reverbs to strain the PCI bus.
The IRQ settings on the Gigabyte MB is not very flexible.
Anyone using AMD Proc with Pulsar (by Dave)

against the mainly spreaded opinion (yes, i did also...) there are no performance deficites on pci-bus with via chipsets compared to the ones of intel (except the ones with the new hub-structure, i8xx).
the only reason not to take an amd-based systems is that certain pci-interfaces on certain audio-cards are incompatible to the old irongate chipset, but those are just a few (like the motorola-interfaces on event- or echo-cards).
