    According to Bethesda's statement, there are no reported issues with AMD processors. This isn't surprising, since they (and not the others

    AMDD 5x86 uses a reversed engineer Intel 486 core, so there shouldn't be a problem with it. Unlike Cyrix/Nextgen which use their custom x86 ops to RISC translator core.
