AMD Duron 1.3GHz   [Computer Buyer]
COMPANY: AMD PRICE: £48(£57)  
RATING: ISSUE: 137  DATE: Oct 02
   

Although it's been kicking around for some time now, the 1.3GHz Duron is still a cracking good deal. It's main competitor at the budget end of the market is Intel's new socket 478 Celeron. Unfortunately for Intel, however, the Celeron is a good few points slower than the Duron, and it's about forty quid more expensive. That makes the choice between the two pretty straightforward, especially as fitting a Duron lets you upgrade to an rip-roaring Athlon XP at a later date.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Socket A, 200MHz front side bus, 128K Level 1 cache, 64K Level 2 cache.
