AMD over Intel... Hmmm.

hey if you had a choice of a mobo/cpu combo of AMD duron 1.8 GHz for $100 or a mobo/cpu combo with celeron D 2.93 GHz for $120 which would you choose ( note: this is purely about dependability, not speed)

KryptoKnight · 02-05-2006, 06:10 PM

probably the second one.

reiko_ambrose · 02-05-2006, 07:09 PM

neither

they're equally dependable. so i couldnt make a decision based on just that

I'd go with the Duron, but it's really opinion more than anything. Quality isn't really an issue when it comes to dependability with processors... I guess I change my mind. Whichever has the better motherboard.

I think they are equally as good and/or as bad as the other, go with whatever has a better board.

Celeron D. 2.93GHz, 256K cache 533Mz fsb, pc2700 DDR standard.

Duron. 1.8GHz 64K cache, 266MHz fsb, pc2100 DDR standard.

I'd go with the Celeron.

EDIT: The Celeron also runs cooler than the Duron and has a much better stock hs/f. The CPU itself is also a lot more durable.

even though celly sucks, and intel sucks, the celeron wins this one... sad but ture
