anyone use high end amd fx series chips for revit? I need to get a desktop machine and the prices are enticing.

Basic Revit will run on your grandma's computer, I'm sure a high end AMD CPU will work. Although I'd tend to stick with Intel cause if you call Autodesk up and tell them you use a AMD chip they'll just say it isn't support and you should of gone for a Intel.
I worked with Autodesk technical support, this used to be the most common thing that happened.

The AMD chips are actually quite fast for single-threaded applications. I have a home desktop with and AMD fx chip and it does fine with rhino, revit, adobe, etc... That said, so would an Intel i-5, and the price difference between those two is rather negligible. The Intel will have much better multi-thread compatiblity with different software and probably run better overall. Look up "antitrust lawsuit Intel AMD compiler"

I've used an FX-6300 with revit and had no problems.
