I doubt if the Duron is faster overclocked or underclocked. It's just the Thunderbird with less cache. Less cache != faster (at the same cache speed) as far as I've ever known. > The only differences between the Athlon and the Duron is on chip cache, and speeds > of the front side bus, if I am not mistaken. > > Athlons have larger L2 Cache I believe than the Durons, That is the only difference. > and are available with up to a 200MHZ bus. They both have a 200mhz bus. Not up to, but 200mhz. The FSB is 100 or 133 in both. (Not talking about DDR and new boards) Just say it this way, "Duron is a Thunderbird with less cache".
