I'm looking to upgrade my little server. I have an ASUS A7V133 w/RAID on the way, now all I need is a CPU. I don't want to spend much money, preferably under $100. I've found a AMD Duron 1.3GB for $82 w/Fan, or would a AMD T-Bird 900MHz be better? Let me know what you think.

Not sure, depends on what your server box does! :)

If its sitting there and serving files out, then either really..

I'd go with the Duron. Regardless of core differences I think 400Mhz is going to make up for it.

Go with the Duron. Do you know of any dual AMD CPU board that has overclocking features? I might be in the market for one soon, but still can't find that 'shinning star'.
