OC the newer durons?

[4everlurkn]

Ive been away for about a year.... Looking to build a new system. Has anything changed in oc the duron chips.... Ive read some articles on unlocking xp&mp.... What are the best boards for OC features now with the new ddr mem.

The durons are still pakcaged in the ceramic and can still be unlocked using a pencil They newer ones above 1 ghz use the new morgan core, which is a neuterd version of the palamino core that the athlon xp's use

Duron 1Ghz+ chips use the Morgan core, supporting SSE and other tweaks and optomisations, making them, MHz for MHz, nearly as good as Thunderbirds.

As for overclocking boards, I would say Epox 8KHA+. I have never had one but from what I hear they are amazing boards.

Good luck with the new system!

I know that someone has two Duron Ghz chips at 12xx - he uses them for folding

It would be really nice if you could put a rig towards folding .
We are getting beaten. Horribly. We have about 2 or 3 months before we lose 3rd place to team rage3d, we need all the help we can get.

fsb

In terms of design the athlons come either with 200 fsb, or 266 fsb which chip design is better for overclocking purposes...From what ive seen the durons are designed for 200fsb...?

I am using a Duron 600 (yes 600) on a A7V266-E right now.
(still setting it up actually) and it'll do [email protected]
It use to run 973mhz on a A7V.
DDR anything is fast.



Oh yeah, Welcome Home & Welcome to the Fourms.

yeah most only go to about 1.25 or so. get an xp they are so cheap a 1.4ghz 1600xp is going for 87 so I wouldn't get the duron unless you are just using the box for surfing and email. newer games are going to still run on the duron but not at 1600x1200.
