Anyone got one or tried overclocking them? 1.4 and 1.6 Durons...
Me wants a cheap AMD Shuttle and Duron for my video capture PC...

oooooooooo nice
wow that does look smart...the new AXIA of old perhaps?
well see how they go weather there stable and that might be worth a shot what price are they ???
cheap, 33 on ebuyer i think
whether thats inc vat or not not sure
but cheap either way, like durons are supposed to be :) that for 1.6 an all
yea, but is it worth buying if your not intending to try and unlock the cache?
Or would it be safer just to buy a slightly more expensive barton 2500+
;) Just to reiterate my thoughts ...
:cool: Using less of the L2 cache (64K vs 256/512) should enable them to run a little cooler and achieve higher clock speeds too. However going on the classic Duron days there's likely to be a 10% speed diff between an AthlonXP and a Duron, 15% between the Duron and a Barton. I wouldn't expect many Durons would do 2.5ghz or even 2.3ghz TBH. Even at 2.5ghz the Duron with 64k L2 would be on par in speed terms with a 2.25ghz TbredB or 2.15ghz Barton. At 2.3ghz it would be on par with 2.07ghz Tbred or 2.00ghz Barton. Of course there is a chance of enabling all 256k L2 cache on these new Durons but I bet VERY few will do it successfully (< 10%?) and even then it would probably negate the higher clock speeds. With TbredB starting under £40 and Barton for under £70 it's hard to think why you'd risk it really ...
