I go AMD all the way also.
I doubt it depends on wich cpu you buy that will make you crash more.

Right now i have an AMD 1700+ @ 1.46ghz ( was clocked to 1.57ghz ).
It's good, a great overclocker.
Im gettin either the 2500+ 2600+ or 2500+ mobile , 2600+ mobile next upgrade. the mobiles are King @ overclocking, i heard the 2600+ mobile can go up to 3800+ speeds.
