I have had my Duron 600Mhz system for about a month or so now, and have not once yet failed to be impressed. The Duron is almost at the Pentium III standard even though it is supposed to be competing against Intel's entry level Celeron processor. With the Duron chip in, I have not yet had even one crash from the system which s built around a Soltek motherboard and an ATi Rage Fury Maxx Graphics Card.
The Duron is a much more stable chip than the K6-2 that it replaces. I've used it for games such as Kingpin and NFS 2000 without so much of even a hint of jerkiness even when detail levels are pumped up full.
The DVD playback on the 600Mhz Duron was actually better than I found on a Pentium III 600Mhz
AMDs Duron range are, and this is what clinched the deal for me, incredibly good value. A Duron 600Mhz chip can now me bought in the UK for under £50. An Athlon would cost more than double this so the Duron has to be the best value processor on the market to date.
