I just burned out my 1.33 Athlon (by just being stupid). But anyway, I need a new CPU and my question runs like this: should I just get like a duron@800, OC it and wait for the Plamino's or just buy another 1.33 or 1.4 athlon and upgrade to a palmino later? I have a Gigabyte 7dxr MOBO w/ a AMD 761 chipset and I am told that it will support Palaminos (please correct me if I'm wrong). The only game I play is Counter-Strike, and I have a Hercules Prophet 4500 w/ 64MB. My 1.33 was turning out 60-70fps, will the Duron see much of a drop in CS at a 1152x864 resolution (21" monitor ). I will later upgrade to a GeForce3 and a Palamino when their prices become resonable, but I want to know if CS will run good @ this config. Well any help would be appreciated, and thanks!
