I.E. less chance of cooking it. Todays prices don't see a lot of difference in the two so I would go with the Athlon. I have a 900 mhz Duron by the way, and no problems. Fast as a Ferrari. Only know their coming out with rocket power, 2ghz???? Next we'll hear " I'm sorry Dave, humans are just too slow and therefor superflous. Goodby" : 0 -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842
