Might have to get one for that price - but where are the reviews? I wonder if half the cache will turn it into a Celathon?

[Wyck]

That's quite a bit more reasonable...

No.. it would be a Durathon. C'mon now....

No - if it were a Durathon, it would perform reasonably well in comparison to its parent chip . . .

True enough, and maybe this one will. I was just saying Durathon would be correct AMD name if you went with the quoted posts' assumption, not the Celathon as the Celeron is Intel.

wow at that price i may h ave to buy one just to get the cool and quiet technology. guess ill wait till a non CA retailer has it.

I think Newegg messed up the spec. The 3000+ should be either 1.8GHz/1MB or 2.0GHz/512k.

So, I pay $130 more for a Barton that I can't overclock?

(oh yeah, with integrated memory controller and SSE2)

I'd kill for a Socket 754 board with a PCI/AGP lock.

Think I'll wait and see what happens with Socket 939, since the 754's will be the new Durons anyhow.

I overclocked A64 3200+ to 2.3 GHz. This one must be able to do the same. At 2.3 GHz it is about 7% faster than Barton at 2.35 GHz. I have that one and was able to compare. So there is an edge but not by much.

 

[ChocoNutDancer]

so what's the diff between this at newegg for $215
and this also at newegg but for $404 ?

they both have the same specs but the second link was via "shop by category".

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

What is a quiet hsf to use with this bad boy?

2 GHz is probably error. This is 1.8 GHz chip likely.
