The T-Bird has more level 1 and level 2 cache than the Duron. Otherwise they are exactly the same. But because of the extra cache (espcially the level 1) the CPU does go a lot faster.

I am looking for AMD Duron 900 - 1GHz or Athlon T-bird 1GHz. and maybe Microstar K7T Turbo or GigaByte GA-7ZXR-C I am a student with not so much $, so I am looking for CPU under $150CDN and MB under $240CDN. My current hardware that will go in the new system is SCSI PCI for HP6300C, ATI 4MB PCI(just for now), Ethernet PCI for SHAW. Would anyone recommend a combination of this hardware or something more appropriate for LM8, please. Is there any benefit to choosing T-Bird over Duron?
