I wanted to buy Duron actually, but I'm not so sure now. I have Abit BH6 mobo (133MHz bus, 2/3 AGP divider), DIMM 128Mb Fujitsu 10ns and Viper 770 TNT2. Looks like Cumine will overclock to 124x5.5=682 maximum (Viper wont work @ 133 probably), but I fear my memory wont handle it.

The price will be almost the same (if I'll sell my old stuff). So what should I buy?

Thanx in advance!

Wel if you buy the cumine you NEED new memory(you have 10 ns stuff I doubt it wil work higher than 112)and posibly a new video card(if the viper can't handle it)I would get the duron it wil o/c higher and your socket a mobo wil last longer(upgrade)

or a KT7
the price is nearly identical now, and the KT7 is a bit easier to work with and (seems) to have less probs...............

Or if you want to stay with Intel:

Asus CUSL2
Pentium III 600E @ 800MHz or 800 @ 960MHz
Alpha PAL35
Apacer 128MB PC133
Asus V6800 Pure or V7700 Pure
