After all the grief I've had with OS2/eCS on non-Intel chipsets, I
wouldn't dream of buying anything but Intel specifically for OS2/eCS,
even though it costs plenty more. Speed, since the advent of 4 digit CPU
MHz, is a non-issue for puters used for work rather than playing games.
OS2/eCS works great on Intel at any speed above 1GHz or thereabouts, and
plenty good even well below that.

Except for integrated video, I don't see many Linux users complaining
about support for Intel, or its "lack of speed", unlike with the myriad
flavors of chipset for AMD.

Intel is like IBM - you can't easily get fired for choosing it.
