I haven't tried this specific setup myself (Reflection X costs Money!
:) and instead use Cygwin/X to do these sort of things. However I
would be surprised if it is the CPU type that is causing the crash in
Windows land.

I would be more pointing a finger at the graphics sub-system. Does the
AMD have an ATI graphics chip and the Intel and Intel graphics chip?
If so I would be hunting for the problem via the many bazillions of
ATI driver combos that seem to be out there for Windows users.
(Catalyst vs ATI vs vendor ATI...)

Failing that is there a chance that you can run Display locally (via
cygwin), this is the usual approach that I take in such cases.
