Duron 1.8?
Wow... I'm noticing that some retailers are now carrying 1.8ghz Durons.
I thought that 1.6ghz was as far as the Duron was going to go, but apparently AMD has added the 1.8 to the top of the Duron line. I did some searching on AMD's website and here's the tech spec brief on the Duron Model 8, which comes in 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8 flavors. http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/cont...docs/25848.PDF I've had great success with the Duron 1.6. Picked up an ECS K7VTA3 w/ bundled 1.6 Duron from Fry's for $39. Overclocks easily to 2ghz just by switching to 166/333 FSB. I haven't gotten around to trying the L2 cache enable trick, but hopefully soon I'll have a 2ghz Duron w/ full 256kb L2 cache. E

One needs to be careful, as these can be either a Tbred A core (CPUID 680) or B core (CPUID 681). The A cores won't overclock that high. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html

Hi, yeah I hear that the 1.6GHz applebreds are great overclockers, better than the 1.8GHz. . . . -- Wayne ][
