i bought the 800 Duron from this company about a month ago. It's the retail version. You pay a little more for the 800 of course. They shipped quickly and have had no problem. This was my first purchase from this company and i called them before ordering to be sure it was indeed the retail version and they said it was and it arrived as such.....taserT

how does retail duron overclockability compare to OEM?

 

[stso]

I believe that retail version come with FAN and Heatsink, right?

 

[taserT]

stso...yes, the retail version has the fan/heatsink included. I bought the retail version because i really don't know anything about overclocking (i might learn tho) and was building my first computer......taserT

That is a good deal, but if you don't mind getting oem you can get a Tbird 750 for $72 from upgradeplanet.com. I have ordered from them before and they are a good company. The Tbird has 256K of on-chip L2 cache while the Duron is equipped with 64K.

well, the duron does have 64K on L2 cache but it also has 128K of L1 cache, just like its big brother, the Athlon. that makes for a total of 192K of on-chip cache. that's pretty good, considering that celerons were languishing with on-board caches. big on-chip cache is good because it runs at CPU bus speed. the durons physically are very hardy and can easily be overclocked to much higher speeds (common declaration is duron 600 at 950). true, an athlon 950 beats a duron 950 any day of the week, but for bang for your buck and overclocker coolness, the durons are fun to play with =) btw, just to let you know how rock-hard stable durons are: i currently have a non-overclocked duron 600. with two case fans, a hard drive fan, and a superorb, system temp is 26 deg C and cpu temp is 29 deg C. considering that guys talk about 50 deg C as the fail-line, that is pretty darn good!
