I am putting together a budget rig and do not know which of these I should purchase. I plan to use a K7S5A PRO. I have seen that the improvements to the Duron cores make them quicker in some circumstances than a similarly clocked Athlon, and that they run cooler. It will be used mostly for the internet with the occassional video capture from cameras and a tv tuner. Any suggestions on which to choose?

Thanks!

Well, the Duron is faster than what you need, and will produce less heat and use less power, so buy the one that's cheaper!
