Not using Intel

[Tivoilos]

Ok, so my testing environment computer does not have a intel anything inside the computer, I do realize that intel is the most common. So lets say when I finish my Kernel for something driver spec. Someone with a intel processor or driver wont be able to use this? I am probably way off but I tried searching for things like this but it said my searches where to common.

May I quickly point you to the forum rules, especially the one about asking smart questions.

Let's start off with the basic information, Is your testing machine an x86 machine? (I.e. is it an AMD processor/VIA using a non-intel chipset?)
That second sentence makes nearly no sense. I assume you mean "If I write a driver for a piece of hardware on this machine, will it be usable by others?" The simple answer to that is, yes. If the architecture is the same and if the other person has the same device.

And, I suggest using the Google "site:" feature to search the forums, the phpBB search is slightly lacking for most searches.
