Beat me to it - I was going to vote 'Zilog' 
Okay, then I'll nominate Rabbit2000! With Dynamic C or without.;P

Serious answer? For me, Intel.
It's not that AMD's processors are bad. They're not. They're really good, according to the benchmarks. It's the support chipsets that worry me. I've only ever had bad experiences with VIA chipsets. For me, and people I know, they've always been unreliable. I don't trust nVidia a huge amount either - their video drivers have always been a little unreliable too.
I'll admit that there haven't been too many problems with my Xbox, though, which also uses an nVidia chipset.
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

I've only had one driver problem, everything else has been fine. i just rolled back to the previous driver since it wasn't an important upudate.

AMD. Especially for the new stuff. The opterons are great. Got a bunch of servers and they work like a treat. They spank the Xeon servers we have.
And for home they are excellent as well, as they run cooler than the Intel's.
The benchmarks speak for themselves.
I reckon AMD have about a 2 year lead, but Intel will be back. For now though its an easy choice.
And for those that say the chipsets are not there, what are you on? Even Nvidia is producing chipsets that are for workstations and servers now (2 and 4 way), with Supermicro jumping in with mobo's.

I know this has been a long time in coming.
This forum is for all discussions involving hardware - CPUs, memory, harddrives, network equipment, toys, gadgets, setting up systems - anything hardware. It's meant to provide a place for those having specific problems to get help. General discussions on cool new gadgets, or news on hardware can still be posted on the Lounge, but straight out "How do I..." questions should stay here.
Enjoy.
cheers,
Chris Maunder

I'm sorry, but that reads as 'post it the Lounge until such times as enough people know about this forum', at least that's what it says to me.
Are you going to frequent this forum giving your pearls of hardware wisdom gleaned from battle with the servers?
