Any place besides overclockerz store? They are having shipping problems and long wait times.

D I really need a pretested Duron? I mean what are the chances that it will make it to 900 if it is unlocked I am gun shy. I bought two cleron 300a's because the first one would only do 374mhz.

Another route to consider is go to a local computer show and look at the chips in the various booths. That is what I did and I found a Duron 650 uncut. I only paid 85 bucks. It overclocks great and is stable.

I'll tell ya about overclockerz store... They are not having shipping problems per se`... They have a long lead time to ship for a couple reasons... Overwhelming number of orders PLUS they make sure that all CPU's and rigs that are sold are WELL tested... I bought a TBird @1G with A7V and FOP32 and got one that arrived at 1050... It did take almost 2 weeks to receive it but they delivered better than promised...

I am sure they are honest people. I just was told 3-5 days. After a week I had to call and cancel. They would not return my phone calls or emails.

You might just have to take the chance of buying a locked one. Mine was locked but I just used a pencil and it is now running at 1Ghz.

ATACOM sells unlocked Duron 600s...for $325!!!! Take the risk. It could take you five screw ups before you paid that much.
