AMD Duron 1.8GHz / 266MHz FSB / Socket A / 192KB Cache
Sunday, May 1st, 2005 | CPU Processor Reviews, Reviews
At 20 bucks with the rebate that is offered, this processor is just great for that extra very cheap desktop computer or low cost desktop computer for your kids, or even as a gift.
On the durability front, AMD does a great job. AMD have not been around as long as their rival Intel, who have a long history and good reputation. The Duron is a quality product, and will offer high speed of execution making your programs run and load faster.
It can be overclocked, which means that it can run faster than it is set to. It comes in a 1.8GHz setting, but one buyer has managed to get it to as high as 2.5GHz with reports that it is fine. This can be a great way to get that little extra performance from a strong performing, but slower chip. Note: overclocking voids warranties, and you need to make sure your system stays at the recommended temperatures or you could damage it’s components.
You will need to buy a cpu heat sink if you do not have one already.
In conclusion, you must get one of these if you are looking to build a cheap desktop computer or even a very cheap one. It’s value is hard to beat. If you like to compare computer processors, this one has value that is hard to beat. I recommend it.
