Would like to say Hi to everyone as I am new to Tom's Forums, but I hope to learn a lot. I am going to try my hand at building my first system as per the article I read at Tom's Site, "Do-it-Yourself PC System Part 1", which recommends using an AMD Athlon 800 Mhz processor. The question that I am posed with is that in several of the suppliers catalogs I have looked in, the Athlon and Duron names are used interchangeably and while there is an 800 Mhz listed in both I just wanted to be sure that I got the right processor. Also, it seems like as I read the article I was having some difficulty in discerning the difference between the two. Hope I don't sound too hopelessly computer illiterate, I just want to make sure I am on the right track.
