So I went down to the local chop shop and inquired about buying some parts for an AMD system (specifically A64). I was cautioned by the sales person to consider Intel because (and this was a direct quote)
"AMD Processors tend to get slower the longer you run them."
His implication was that the processor would be great out of the box but over 3, 6, 9 months I would start to see the processor slow down.
I have never heard anything of the sort before.
I REALLY don't want to turn this into an Intel v AMD thing. I just want to verify or dispute what the salesman told me.
I have already decided to go AMD because I want 64 bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
