Don't know where that cooler idea came from? Tbird's run hot, hotter
than Durons. Bigger caches, more voltage, more wattage, more heat.
That's what I thought too.
My vote goes for a good case with adequate (or more than adequate)
cooling. The case I bought when I assembled my Athlon

Hi everyone,
I am considering upgrading my MB and CPU and would like to know
which would be a better choice for LM8.
I am looking for AMD Duron 900 - 1GHz or Athlon T-bird 1GHz.
and maybe Microstar K7T Turbo or GigaByte GA

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.

Todays prices don't see a lot of difference in the two so I would go
with the Athlon.

hi isaac,
what tom is talking about is the speed at which info is transferred from pci
cards such as nics, sound cards etc. i.e. the pci bus. despite the super
fast performance of your cpu, memory etc, anything that relies on something
connected via the pci bus cannot transfer faster than

well, I think since the 1gig duron came out yesterday, it's way too
expensive to buy right away (for the performance
