Which Duron to get?

Say I was cheap and wanted to overclock..what would my best choice be?

I would say a 650 or 700. The 600s are actually more then the 650 and are hard to get. The difference between the 650 and 700 is only like 5 bucks. I am personally getting a 700 myself because i cannot find any lower clocked one.

Go with a 700, can't beat the price vs. performace.

I'd say anywhere between 600-700MHz. They tend to have the most success with overclocking. See fivespeed5's sig for a perfect example.

One thing I must warn you of however, is that all these modern AMD CPUs (Duron, TBird) run very hot. If you buy one, make absolutely certain you go overkill on cooling. Otherwise you'll be running at insane temperatures and if you try to overclock, you'll toast it.

Best of luck.
