Does anybody know the highest speed that I can get from the above chips? I am thinking to upgrade my processors and still debating which one I want to use. Can someone recommend me which one is better?

nb: Please don't be offended with my question on which chip is better since I really don't know much about processor and really like to know the differences...


Thanks

If you go with a Duron they overclock higher than Thunderbirds because they have a smaller L2 cache. A Duron 600, 650, 700 all overclock to around 900-1000. The original speed of the Duron doesn't make a difference I believe. A 600 can overclock higher than a 700 sometimes.

I am on my second Duron. My first was a 650 which was only stable at 850 but could post at 900 and it ran hot around 50c idle. Now my second Duron is a 600 but I'm running it at 1000 at 38c idle.
