A new hardware question (Celeron vs Duron)

[EternalKnight]

I am building a very low cost system for my linux machine and I have been wondering, for a budget system which is better? Duron or Celeron.

I'd get a Duron.

If you're not playing games or working at high resolution, go for whichever is cheaper. But beware, AMD chips and Intel chips cannot be compared by the megahertz.

I think the Duron will be cheaper...... I can get a 1.4ghz TBird 266 FSB for $120... a Duron 850 can't be more than like $80

Why exactly is one still even THINKING about a Celeron?

Geez...:rolleyes:

See http://www.tech-report.com/reviews/2001q3/duron-1ghz/index.x?pg=1 for a nice review of the Fastest Duron against the fastest Celery. I don't think I need say more!
