Are the Applebred Durons not the best cause there multipliers are unlocked?

Just came off of overclockers.com data base . I have seen the results
...
they are low voltage (lower than my t-bread) and seem to overclock
pretty good , cheap prices also . I wonder why you dont see them in
boxes? Or at least I don't see them anywhere for sale installed in a
new setup !

Unfortunately for the Duron, the Celeron has much bigger MHz numbers... so
the uninitiated buy them up in the cheap systems (even labelled as P4's
sometimes).

AFAIK there are no specially good series, they do all fine.

The Celeron's are a joke. That tiny 128Kb cache along with the L1/L2 cache
data duplication cripples the thing. A 2.0Ghz P4 Willamette easily
outperforms the 2.8Ghz P4 Northwood Celeron. Barton 2500's are so dirt cheap
now that there's no real reason to run out and get a 1.8 Duron. Although
I've never compared them, I would expect a 1.8 Duron to be on par with a 2.8
Celeron.

Nope, Applebred Durons are locked just like the Bartons (ie: post week 39,
or 35, or whatever). The pre-week-39 Applebreds are quite good, because
sometimes you can re-enable the rest of the L2 cache (as with the Thortons).
The L2 bridges (cache control) were locked along with the L3 (startup
multiplier) bridges in week 39.
