Advantages Cheap and great oveclocking ability

Disadvantages Buy this product if you're in a tight budget but still wanted to have the speed and value.

The AMD Duron processor is really the next generation in computing platforms, delivering extra performance for cutting-edge applications and an extraordinary computing experience. It can outperform the pentium 4 1.8 ghz in some benchmark testing.AM

I Bought this processor 6 months ago but just recently decided to overclock it. Got it up over 1.9ghz on a Jetway Mobo with no problem and the temperature goes up at around at 45 degrees celsius. (w/an OCZ Dominator heatsink .

I love this product because of it's overclocking ability. I guess no other processor can't beat the value of this processorIt's very cheap and fast. with the right heatsink and motherboard it can reach up to 2.4 ghz!!!

I told a friend to order one of these for his midrange processor coupled with a Biostar M7NCD pro, 2x256 GEIL ddr400 in dual channel and a GeForceFX 5600 Ultra FlipChip does pretty nicely. Wanted more speed out of the proc so we ordered a Speeze FalconRock, Used Arctic Alumina and started the oc frenzy,

We have it running at 200mhz fsb somehow 1.75v 200x9.5 with the speeze it idles at 39c and 43c sometimes 45c on load I kinda like this cpu, scores around 11000 on 2001 and in the 3100 area on 2003, not bad for a midrange system.

    Hi and welcome to Ciao. Lots of technical data there, but I fear not many readers will understand what it all signifies. I know I didn't. Duncan
