could this be real a 30dollar chip with the performance of a 200chip

hmm maybe with the 3200+ you could get like 4600+

....lol

Thats just the benchmark not real life performance.

The extra cache will be needed in diff programs so it depends.

theguywiththeha · Mar 12, 2004

yea but still 30bucks compard to alot what do those run like 200bucks

The Coolest · Mar 12, 2004

It doesn't matter, if you do a real world benchmark between the two processors, like running UT2k3/4 you will definatly see a difference.

theguywiththeha · Mar 12, 2004

where do i get that?

its funny right now i just ran 3dmark2k1 and i have a exstension on my mouse cable it came unpluged i thought my comp crashed...lol

The Coolest · Mar 12, 2004

UT2k3/4 is Unreal Tournament 2003 or 2004, these are PC games. The full UT2k4 is supposed to hit store sheleves this monday, for now we only got the demo. UT2k3 was one of the most popular games in the last year

theguywiththeha · Mar 12, 2004

where can i get the demo

The Coolest · Mar 12, 2004

just google for it. not too hard.

warlock110 · Mar 12, 2004

yep, the extra cache will be the difference. unless u can hit 2.5 ghz then u can even it out

. but raw clock speed like that means that when it converts media, it'll be just as fast as an XP3200 because converting media require just raw speed, no cache needed.

hey guys i think his point is wow look at the performance for the dollar he spent. and this is exactly why i got 2 duron myself. there is nothing on the planet that has a better bang for the buck.

dead_man311 · Mar 12, 2004

ya those durons are a very good bang for the buck, i build my sister a 1.3Ghz duron system before, it wasnt a rocking gaming system but it was pertty fast. and it got rid of her 1.1Ghz cel. she was renting from rent a center at $50 a week

theguywiththeha · Mar 12, 2004

that was my point the biggest bang for your buck and im going to try 2.5 when i get a nforce 2 board and and ddr400 at least

dead_man311 · Mar 12, 2004

wow 2.5 thats wicked, good luck on it

theguywiththeha · Mar 12, 2004

i need a better heatsink any recomended ones? mines is a coolermaster aero 7 lite i cant get water cooling because if i get that why didnt i just buy a faster chip in the first place..lol

and i do convert media video capturing and covert to dvd compatible format

and i used to use celey 1.4tualatin and 512mbspc100 for that job oh that was a bad exsperiance:S 10-12hours for a 1hours 20min of video :S

dead_man311 · Mar 12, 2004

id sugest a thermalright heatsink , either a SLK-900A, SLK-947 SP-97 and a nice 92mm fan

theguywiththeha · Mar 12, 2004

thanks i will check on that

dead_man311 · Mar 12, 2004

if yuo got anymore qustions feel free to ask, there are tons of ppl here willing to help

Take
Care

now arent the durons locked? i have the 200 fsb duron i was gonna get rid of it.

theguywiththeha · Mar 12, 2004

dumbfish · Mar 12, 2004
