| 286170 | 2004-10-30 03:50:00 | Duron CPU: $55 Decent HSF: $55 Look on face when Duron dies within hour of purchase (inevitable): Priceless My dad has a 1.1ghz Duron, and my old old old (My third-to-last PC) PIII 500 whipped it's arse. Then there's the random lockups... |

Then there's the random lockups < I think that would more a case of a urine poor mobo/chipset/mem config rather than the duron's fault. No way on earth could p111 500 match a duron 1100 on a properly setup rig a p111 1000 had trouble matching a duron 1100 on many benchmarks. This is coming from a realistic intel fanboy. :-) But I know what you mean, I have seen many duron 800/1000 setups that are just like you have described, unreliable and seemingly gutless. |

| 286176 | 2004-10-30 07:25:00 | Well, it's kind of strange. It's absolutely HORRIBLE at anything normal like word processing, logging in/out, shutting down/starting up, playing music etc. And it can't play DVDs for s**t. It has 256MB of PC133 ram btw. But on things that are purely MHZ based like video encoding it does just the same as any other 1.1ghz chip. Whatever, I hate it. I would never swap it for my Celly D 3.06ghz with 512MB DDR400 ram running at DDR333 because of changed FSB. But then, who would? Oh, and it runs at 40 degrees and my one 3x the speed runs at 31, George |

| 286177 | 2004-10-30 07:38:00 | A cpu is not the measure of a computer,its the sum of all its parts,though durons did run a little hot(but well within their designed limits). | metla (154) | ||
| 286178 | 2004-10-30 09:32:00 | I would nut it down to operator/maintainer issues then..... Aside from that, in my old Desktop PC, I had a Volcano 9 - And you _really_ noticed it when it went from low speed --> Medium speed --> High speed! Sure it kept it cool, but the noise was.... shocking..... |

| 286179 | 2004-10-30 09:54:00 | Yeah its a fine balance between great cooling and excessive noise with fan cooled systems - I used to use a Volcano 7+ - I think max rpms were about 6500 - 7000! It used to scream at full tit :D Who cares about Durons and Celerons - they both suck with their crippling L2 cache sizes IMO :p |
