Athlon 1200 (thunderbird) or Dual P3-750?

[beatle]

I have some old hardware collected. I have an old 1.2GHz Athlon Thunderbird and a dual P3-750 (slot 1). I'd basically use this PC for light web browsing, music, and occasional video.

I'm guessing the Tbird will actually be faster, despite the dual advantages.... any takers?

Nevermind, the tbird grenaded. Heatsink or paste must not have been just right.

The one bad thing about the Thunderbirds...no thermal protection.

 

[beatle]

Yep

lol they were great performers, but ye gads they're touchy, I don't see many living examples come through my shop, yet I see heaps of P3/etc come through to this day.

I blew up my friends brand new 1ghz tbird back in 1999-2000 when I was installing it for him. The store took it back . lol
