That is true, but some boards did not have that capability...I believe that only came about with the "A" revision of the KT133 chipset...it's been so long, I need to refresh a bit...either way, the performance difference between a 1 gig Duron and a P3 667 is really negligible, as I plainly...

LOL, you are correct, sir...please try to help me explain that to AIWGuru... ;)

For you and your freind who posted about the same thing, above you...show me where that "double-pumped" thingie equates into anything, outside of memory speed?...ah, I thought so... :P

Well, he said he has PC133 RAM, so that means the Duron will only be running 100mhz FSB, correct? :P

You are indeed correct that some boards have the option to run the memory at 133mhz FSB while leaving the CPU at 100mhz FSB...if he has a board with that option, it will certainly make a difference... :D 128MB of RAM?...you can run W2K fairly easily and benefit from the extra stability, but if...

Hehehe, I have 2 in the front, 2 Panaflos in the back... :D Although I must disagree a little with your statement of exhaust over intake...from reading others' articles, and from my own testing, it's better to create a sort of pressurized system where you have more intake than exhaust...the...

All 1ghz Durons are Morgan core, hence a crippled Palimino core...he plainly said it's a P3 667, which can be nothing other than a Coppermine...I guess we all are forgetting the one important thing here...the P3 667 is running 133mhz FSB STOCK, whereas the Duron is running 100mhz FSB STOCK...or...

WOW, almost 600g...that's more than most HEATSINKS weigh!!!...looks kinda like a couple of my sweet Delta Black Labels sandwiched together... :D

:Q :Q :Q :Q :Q :Q :Q :Q

80mm? try this one...120mm? then give this one a try...in their prospective size categories, they are THE most powerful you can find... :D

Nice solid system, I myself got off the Intel bandwagon several years ago and have never looked back...too damn PRICEY... ;) As you pointed out, the Athlon is a good bit faster than the P4 unless you overclock them (and even then the P4 shows no HUGE lead)...though I'm all for overclocking...

Outside of synthetic benchmarks, you'd be hard-pressed to notice the difference...the lack of any serious amount of on-die cache that the Duron sports will show in gaming, but still, not by any more than a few FPS...I've had similar processors (P3 600 & P3 750 Coppermines and Duron 1ghz), so I...
