I have an Asus P3B-F Rev. 1.03 What should I get?

1. PIII 800
2. Duron 800 @ 1000 w/ MSI K7T PRO2-A

Thanks, Micron

PIII600 o/c to 800 or pIII700 and go for 933.

My RAM is not very good :disgust: so I don't want to overclock a PIII.

If it's the same money, I would get the duron system. More bang for the buck.

Thanks Whitedog that's what I'm thinking.

duron would probably be better.

micron · Dec 21, 2000

How much of a difference will there be going from a PIII 450 to a Duron @ 1GHZ?

Dark4ng3l · Dec 21, 2000

big the duron is faster clock for clock. The 1 ghz dron would be more than 2 times faster(clock speed)

Edit - OK, maybe they are closer than I though.

<<The Duron is faster clock for clock to what? A PIII, your on crack.>>

How about neck and neck?

Never feel to confident about Intel processors.

Thanks for the link LXi. I think i'm going to get the duron.

Yea, I would get a Duron 800 with the MSI board, very nice performance boost for less than $200.
