Speed diff (%) between Duron 700 & 800??

What is the difference in speed between the 700 and 800?
I am trying to decide between them. There is $40 AU difference between the 700 & 800.
I have also got a FOP32-1 fan, should I remove the thermal pad and but some Radio Shack grease (All that is availible). Which one is better?

Also got a MSI K7T Pro2-A!! Looks great 🙂

Everyone is saying,the 600 is the best overclocker.If you are not going to overclock,go ahead and get the 800,it should be 10 to 14 percent faster in a bench mark.Talk to Compuwiz 1, he tests them.

It will be about 14% faster, but thats just my calculator talking.

It should be less than 14% faster then (thanks for the calculation though). The reason why it won't be the full 14% is because of bus and cache limitations.

I did consider that, but I'm too lazy to factor that in. 😉
