Duron 1.8

[tooat]

Is this 1.8G Duron at TCWO worth $50? LINK

they make a duron 1.8 ghz???

Thats teh brand new one. AMD wont even admit they exist, but its rather obvious they do. Apparantly they oc like hell from stuff i have heard out of japan. On a 64 cache though. Apparantly you can activate teh otherh 192 megs though with a mod. essentially giving you an xp 2400

I guess they would want to try and keep this one a secret, if it overclocks like that and the cache can be enabled

remember though, some people have reported on getting "A" cores rather than "B" cores from their applebreds. applebreds share the share core with tbreds, so the codes are similar. like "MIRGA", is an "A" core. etc..

Get an Athlon XP1700, it'll feel so much faster.

If you can still find them.
Haven't seen them advertised here in the UK for alittle while now

i got a 1800+ and an ECS mobo @ frys for 59.99, so no, this isnt worth it

Yeah I just picked up my Duron 1.8ghz and ECS mobo for $59.99 from Frys. It was a one day sale today balck friday

 

[JimRaynor]

Nice deal, can that mobo overclock?

 

[HardOCPmember]

Yes it can. I am now currently running it at 2025Mhz a front side bus of 150. The multiplyer is 13.5

2.25 ghz at 1.725 volts here (it wil probably hit it w/ less voltage). I would say these are equivalent of the 1.45v tbreds, since its running at 1.8 ghz w/ a default vcore of 1.5v. I said this before....but my a7n8x will not let me go over 1.75 volts w/ an applebred w/ the 1007 bios..... anyone know why?

last year it was a 2000+ retail with ecs m/b for 59 so little has changed.
