I was wondering which would you say would run hotter, a duron 700 running at like, 950; or one of the newer 1.2 durons? Any ideas?

Same case, mb, hsf setup on both.

Hmm, while im asking noob questions, anyone happen to know offhand if one would require a stronger psu than the other?

Wasnt sure if i should post the first question here or in 'overclocking', but hey, you're the cooling guys!

Thanks a ton for the infos!

Looking at www.sandpile.org, looks like a Spitfire Duron at 950MHz puts out 40W max, and adjust that proportionately if you bump the CPU voltage to get 950. The Morgan Duron at 1.2GHz puts out a max of about 54W. Everyone's opinion varies, but my feeling is you'd want at least a good-quality 300W PSU.
