I will need to use LabVIEW in college, but they are telling me to NOT get an AMD processor in my laptop because LabVIEW will have problems. I've been searching and it seems that most of the problems people see with AMD chipsets are actually from the motherboard used.
Who are "they" and what specific problems are they talking about?
I have run LabVIEW on many types of CPUs (Intel: 486, Pentium I, II, III, VI, Pentium M, Centrino, etc. AMD K6, Athlon, Athlon XP, DualCPU/Dual Core Opteron, etc. VIA C3), a wide variety of MB/Chipset combinations, laptops to workstations, and have never encountered any problem with LabVIEW that would indicate any compatibilty problem. Don't you think that these forums would be full of complaints if such an incompatibility would exists?
Do you need to run plain LabVIEW or do you need to add DAQ boards or other hardware?

Well, if it's a mobile chip in a mobile PC, then I don't see where the problems should lie.
I think it's just a case of the IT heads not wanting more diversity in their department. The more similar (or identical) machines they have, the less problems they may be presented with - less different problems that is).
I'm personally not a HP fan, but I do believe they make solid PCs. Or they used to at least.

I've considered that possibility...

Hai,
There is no issue for AMD.
But for Celeron, due to internal Cache memory issue you will feel CPU usage almost 100% for a blank while loop without a wait timer.
In case of Pentium CPU Usage percentage is less and in Dual core it very low (about 2-3%).
Celeron is not good for software development.
