duron 900 or more on a KT133A motherboard.. quite zippy and really very good value..
although the Celerons are now gettin pretty good to. All new Celerons over 1.2 gig now have double sized L2 cache... which makes them very close to PIII's in performance. in fact the only difference between a PIII and a celeron at that sort of speed is the buss speed. (133 for PIII 100 for celeron) so they are very close.. Celerons used to be crap compared to Durons, but they are a good deal too now. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ric Tibbetts Sent: Monday, 11 February 2002 3:32 PM To: Mandrake Expert List Subject: [expert] Motherboards - again The recent discussions of motherboards has raised a question with me. There is always lots of chat about the mid to upper end mobos, but what about the lower end? If I were to put together a budget box, that could still run Linux, and be useable, what mobos would you experts recommend? This is really just a curiosity question. Not everyone can afford to build a box based on the Soyo Dragon+, they may want something resulting in a box half that price. So drag out your calculators, and lets see what can be built on budget hardware (must be current stuff. No 486 boxes).
