I would get a 1.6Ghz duron. Hands down better overclocker for the money. You WILL be happy with it. It's only $40 at newegg.com anyway.

Oh yeah, it should overclock a little higher than a regular tbred B, kind of negating a little of the lost cache. To get a tbred B guaranteed, you need to buy a 2100+ for $62. That's 50% more than a comparable 1.6Ghz duron.

Yeh the 1.6 duron is very good value for money.

The system in my sig will go to 2.4ghz if i push the voltage. Sure you are limited a bit by the cashe but in some cases it is possible to unlock the full 256k. Athough it did not work with my chip i have spoken to many people who have no problems.
