AMD Duron 1.8 GHz processor

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 Ge... Read review

Advantages: Warranty, Easy Install, Very Quick, Inexpensive, Overclockable
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...will hear about in a bit) and quieter than most mainstream heatsinks. The installation is simple enough as thet provide a foldout leaflet with step by step instructions with photos and in different languages. Simply pop the processor in the correct way round, clamp it in, hook over both ends of the heatsink and flip the lever over and lock to firmly affix the heatsink, thats it!!!! Now I mentioned about how good the heatsink is with cooling, thats not the half of it. The processor itself is very overclockable. At correct settings it runs at 1.8GHz. A chap on gladiators forums posted, with a CPU-Z screenshot how he clocked the core speed up to 2.5GHz (yes thats an extra 700MHz) on the original packaged AMD heatsink, no water cooling, no special thermal past other than what was on the original heatsink and the heatsink is still cold enough...

Advantages: So many...stability, overclocks insanely & most bang for the buck.
Disadvantages: None except that Intel C2Ds now yields better performance.

...Currently the leading budget overclocking AMD dualcore processor, why? simply becourse the price/performance ratio is ridicolous, let me explain in detail in the best of my ability. (I´m assuming that the reader/s have some or even better knowledge about overclocking & the terms used in the semi-advanced school of computer knowledge, if youre a newbie thats fine too as I will try to write this review so that it´s understandable to some extent by everyone & reading is the key to learning, there are also plenty of guides on the net to satisfy your apetite ;) ) btw I´m no expert myself, merely a layman with a couple of self-built "puters" in my CV. Initially the CPU cores run at 1,8GHz which is more than enough when surfing the www & playing music + having your system loaded with AV, Anti Spyware & various other apps + resource... Read review
