My latest boxes have been,CuMine 700 on BX,CuMine 667 and 933 on i815 and now T-bird 1.2 on Via KT133A.(Win 98SE all the way)
Similar graph. card used too,a GF2 MX,I use a Radeon now though.
Of these the AMD platform has without a doubt been the most stable.
One other stability problem with AMD's might be the PSU,I've used the same one with all above boxes (CWT 300W) I'd guess a generic 250/300 might cause some stability issues with an AMD.(and prob. with Intel too,but they're not as powerhungry)
But as usual YMMV,for me there's been no problem with AMD and my MoBo doesn't have active cooling on it and is still stable.
I do always make sure I have a proper and efficient airflow which keeps it fairly cool considering I don't have any special cooling/abundance of fans.
