Which CPU is Faster?

[BuckMaster]

A P3-550E@770MHZ@140FSB
OR
Duron 600@1040MHZ@104FSB

Im currently running a P3-550E@770MHZ runs great and fast! I just built a Duron 600@1040MHZ and Im thinking of switching out my hardware and running it on a Duron since its running over 1-GHZ. I mostly play games! Beside hang out here all the time!

Which would you have for your main computer? Duron or the P3? The other PC would just be a backup and playing Lan games, ect...

Other Hardware being Used:
Plextor 12/10/32
Kenwood 72X
256 -Mushkin PC 133 2-2-2
Voodoo 3-3500
S/B Live Value
Nic Intel 10/100 Pro
2-20 GIG 7,200 Maxtor UDMA 66


Thanks!

For most things that Duron is going to be faster for you because of the sheer clock speed. The P3 might have an edge for cache-happy applications, but that AMD will probably take you where you want to go faster.

I'd take the Duron.
But check this out,Duron@140MHz.

I would say the Duron with almost a 300mhz advantage.

Clock for clock the Coppermine P3 is faster than a Duron, but with the Duron in this case having a ~300 MHz advantage it will be faster than the P3.

Naturally I would go with the Duron cause 300Mhz is a huge difference rather than just cache size.

Moving Target:

Even without any clock speed advantage, they're neck and neck.

In most apps, your Duron at that speed is going to spank your PIII.
