Nonetheless, this question has been asked many times before (indeed I remember answering one in the last week or two), and it's much quicker to look in the archives yourself than wait for the list to come up with an answer... Although I've only ever used Intel CPU's (not because of any particular reason, it just so happened that the machines I've used had them), I've not seen any bad reports from people who've used others. The only one I would have qualms about using is the old Cyrix 486 clone (the one with 1kB of cache and no FPU).
