are tbirds any good?

[jammw69]

hi, i would like to know if the thunderbird cpu,s are any good??

[The Coolest]

Tbirds are really good procs. but as far as I heared, they have about the same overall performance as the Morgan durons have, so if you got one of those, there's no point in going to tbird, it also lacks the SSE and the thermal diode

the TBirds are a great procesor they are also great fo overclocking with the right cooling. The Only disadvantage is that thye don't make a TBird over 1.4GHz

I already miss my Tbird 1200@1533... :(

T-birds are fine. But if your board can take an XP, use it instead. They have better performance, and are actually cheaper.

I'll second that, you can pick up a XP1600+ over here for about £40...so in $ about $55 maybe ?

Also, if your interested in maybe overclocking, you can quite easily make it into a much better system with a little cooling.

They run hotter than XP's.
