Overclocking capability: PIII 700 vs Duron 650

[Dynasis]

Which one is more overclockable and which is more stable?

i have my p3 coppermine at 140 mhz FSB right now. thats 980 mhz. the coppermines were favorites among overclockers in theyre day.

it all depends on the batch and stepping.
MOST PIII 700's hit 933 easy, 1050 with a little luck...
Many 650 hit 1100, most about 900 MHz...

and i would go with the P3 any day over a Duron.
It would be faster, and you can run it on a VIA free chipset

the p3 would be better. make sure you get a cD0 stepping, and all will be well.

I have my P3 700 @ 931 on STOCK cooling.

i would go with the p3, even tho durons arent bad, you have to clock in the performance of the cpu, and the fsb

Funny... if you posted this in the AMD forum then you would get a different opinion... . Could someone please post some links to help make a beter choice... use it... dont use it

Ok i found this it is a Link for a Celeron 600 vs. Duron 600 vs. P3-600 benchmark... might help

edit: Here is another... while you at it check This

LOL. I thought the same thing.

Now, off to find a P3 mobo

I dont really think if you posted this question in the AMD forum you would get a different answer....

Its a fact the P3 is a faster CPU than a Duron.
And how much they overclocked in thier day, well look at the results in the CPU database, so no bias their.

If it was an Althon vs a Pentium, then i could see the bias showing...

but as its a duron....
that would be like asking if a Celeron is faster than a athlon and say your bias for picking the Athlon
