Two GHz Processors for Price of One

[gbrux]

Get this. You can buy a 1.2 GHz Athlon Thunderbird ($488) and a 750 MHz Pentium III ($190) for about the price of one 1.0 GHz Pentium III ($664).
This is even better: if you overclock the 750 MHz P3 to 1.0 GHz (133 MHz FSB X 7.5 multiplier = 1.0 GHz), you will have one 1.0 GHz P3 and one 1.2 Tbird for the price of one stock 1.0 GHz P3.
Prices from Sharky Extreme CPU prices of Oct. 18, 2000.

Or buy (4) 800Mhz Tbirds and o/c them to 1.0-1.1GHz...

Um...dude...you can buy almost 15 Duron 600's for that $664 dollars (good old calc.exe) And most of these will overclock nicely as I'm sure we're all aware.
