I have an AMD 700Mhz, and I played my new found love, Crafty 17.6 vs Crafty 17.7 and beat it brutally 7-0 in 5 and 10 min blitz games. The guys on the other side kept asking my which program I was using, unknown to them I was using the sister program on a faster machine. The CPU speed improves strength dramatically. The rumors that Crafty is less functional on AMD are simply misstated.

It's usually compiled to run more optimally on an Intel machine. But put a Crafty on your 700mhz AMD against a 500mhz Intel with the same version of Crafty, and I think your machine has a large upper hand in a match. Your 700mhz AMD crunches numbers faster, I'd take it over a slower Intel anyday.
Now try running the games for longer time controls.
