I am going to be building a few HIGH END graphics comuters and have to decide between using AMD K7 Athlons or Intel PIIIs. Has any one seen benchmarks and reliability testing, that come from and indepentant source, not the chip makers themselves

You are still going to get more bang for buck going with AMD. The performance diff is very neglidable, unless you are considering some 3d rendering then a athlon with win there due to its more powerfull FPU.

The PIII is better for Adobe applications. They have quite decent SSE support overall, and no 3DNow!. The Athlon isn't bad, but clock for clock Adobe apps are still one of Intel's favored comparisons.
