I prefer AMD, as the new vPro-enabled chips pose a possible

Given the NSA's current press to exploit ALL possible security holes, and unlimited funding to do so, one ought to consider what can/should be done about these issues.

I have a Gigabyte Brix with an AMD quad-core chipset running OpenBSD 5.5 just peachy! 256GB SSD hard drive and 2 TB external drive on USB 3.0 works well
