P3-751 or duron 750

Hi

My 10 yearold needs a better pc. She now has a vintage Digital Celebris XL-133 with a overdrive K6-2 400 proc.

I found a box with a p3-751, 256 ram, rage 2 vid (16meg ?), snd card, 8 gig hd and winXP installed for 250$ CAD

But i also have lying around at home a Duron 750 cpu, tnt 2 agp (16meg?), and 2 X 128 sdram, and a new cheapo case, a 2.1 gig hd


Any suggestions. Is the p3-751 stronger than the 750 duron?


peace

p3 751? you mean 750? Honestly i think both will perform about the same...both should have a good deal of overclocking potential too.


If it isn't a P6 then it isn't a procesor

They are both about the same. initially i was thinking the duron has more performance potential beccause of overclocking, but then the instability factor kicked in. the Intel P3-751mhz should be a solid system.

The Duron CPU has far more overclocking potential as the multiplier can be unlocked. With a good heatsink and fan you ought to be able to get at least an extra 100Mhz out of it without sacrificing the rest of your systems stability.

Thanks guys

I did pick up the P-3. Guess what? That ATI rage card was a 2meg pci...lol. Bastards..lol. But i didn't cheak first and just "took it for granded" that it would be an AGP with at least 16meg on it.

Anyway they gave me a hacked copy of WinXP Pro so just that made up for the card thing.

Now there's nothing marked on the CD drive and i jokes with the guy that it wasn't an 8x and he said he didn't know...Bastard..lol.Proly is a 4x...lol..I haven't tested it's transfer rate. It's a Samsung SCR-3232.

The mobo is a GVXC7-4X. I checked at Gigabyte.com but couldn't find it. I indeed was wondering if i should dish out the moulas for a decent vid card and maybe even DVD drive.

It seems very stable as is. I'm connected to the net via a wireless nic and hub downstairs.

That 6gig hd is also too small. I've only installed RA2, Tiger Woods and a few others and i now only have 2.8gig left.

Anyone know about the mobo? GVXC7-4x

Dear Wusy! Opps!

Looked like a G but is rather a 6...so it's a 6VXC7-4X. Is that the cheapos of cheapos?

Another thing. The bios states the hd ar 8455meg but XP states it at 6.28gig.?
