I have used ArcGIS 8 and 9 on both Pentium and AMD boxes and have found no appreciable difference in operation, even during heavy analysis.
One word of caution is worth mentioning here, though. Apparently there is an issue with ArcGIS installation, and running, on Windows XP Professional and SP2 with an AMD64 chip. In the Tech Article referenced below, ArcGIS products and certified with limitations by ESRI under XP Pro SP2 and an AMD64 chipset (among other processors).
The reference to this article is:

(the above url, although it may be displayed on two lines on your monitor, is all one line)
Cheers,
George.

Subject: [gislist] AMD vs Pentium
I think this is an age old question. I have read both kinds of reviews where<br>one is said to be better than the other (AMD vs Pentium). It's almost as if<br>authors of these reviews are already biased about a particular processor.<br><br>However, these reviews mostly compare processor strengths/weaknesses in<br>terms of DVD ripping or mp3 to wav conversions or running games that<br>require extreme graphics.<br><br>But what I want to know is specific to running ArcGIS applications. Has<br>anyone tried and seen if AMD processors are better than P4 or vice versa for<br>running ArcGIS applications? What does ESRI recommend?<br><br>Regards,<br>Solomon<br>_______________________________________________<br>gislist mailing list<br>gislist@lists.geocomm.com<br>http://lists.geocomm.com/mailman/listinfo/gislist<br><br>_________________________________<br>This list is brought to you by<br>The GeoCommunity<br>http://www.geocomm.com/<br>
