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 sy

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 33m

Durons are different chips from Athlons, with a different core specifically
designed for the low-end of the market. This results in a low-cost, fast CPU,
that competes well with Celerons and PIIIs. A Duron is usually about 90% as
fast as a similarly-clocked Athlon, whereas a Celeron is about 70

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.

Otherwise they are exactly the same. But because of the extra cache

well, I think since the 1gig duron came out yesterday, it's way too
