Cel 600 or Duron 800?

[Guest]

I am on the edge of deciding on the CPU for my next system. I want to get 1GH. I have been leaning heavy toward the Celeron cCO 600 with an CUSL2-C Mobo. However, I have recently been considering a Duron 800 with an A7V Mobo. I am getting a 128MB pc133 cas2 Dimm from Crucial, and will probably choose either the Alpha PAL 6035, or Thermaltake Super Orb for cooling. I realize I will probably spend $50 more for the AMD setup.
So, please help me decide which is the best way to go. I want reliable speed, future upgradeablity, and reliability. Also, i would appreciate any coments on cooling.

Go for the Duron, it is no good have a cpu running at 1ghz if it is slower than an 800....for colling have a look at tome latest review on coolers....

Consider a Duron at 650Mhz,
I overclock it using A7V to 900Mhz (1.888V, FSB100 * 9)
CPU temp 40C using Asus Probe, room 21C
when playing games to up to 57C max,
averaging around 49C
I have a Termaltake [Golden Orb 11000rpm] only cost US$10

getting me 40C at 900Mhz with US$10, what can I complain?

See www.overclockers.com for the chances of pushing 650 to 900 and over. Nearly 100%

Another friend's A7V produce 1.92V when jumper set to 1.85V and got his Athlon 700 to 1GHz. If only my A7V would do the same

CPU temp 47C room 26C, Golden Orb 5500rpm only.

Go for the Duron. They are cheaper and they run faster. You can't go wrong with an AMD.

Celerons cant even come close in performance to the
Duron . Get a good heatsink and your on your way to a killer system.
DURON ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
