they are both stable, i'd think an amd would be more stable than intel because they run a lot cooler and can be over clocked easier... the bios is more likely to cause a crash than the cpu itself
thats true, but its best for him to have sli there ready since it doesnt cost that much extra... rather than realise he needs sli and not have, for ~$30 extra its just easier to get it

i think intel is more stable than amd they will be starting at around 150 bucks

If your not going to get 2 graphic cards in sli then i dont see the use for a sli mobo
