I've been on pricewatch and I can get a Duron 850 for $75 or a T-bird 750 for $75. I primarily use my PC for games so which will be the better choice? Thanks in advance

Take the Duron. It'll more than likely overclock to a GHZ with the proper cooling.

unless you're doing some graphics or other high-resource consuming app. (Video / Audio editting, etc) Grab the duron :D-~

Realistically speaking, they will both perform the same. The larger cache of the T-bird will compensate for the higher speed of the Duron. But if you are going to OC then go with the Duron. They have a little higher OC rate as they produce less heat due to smaller transistor count.

Good site for cooling solutions is kdcomputers.com
