Phwoar my first decent gamin rig had a Duron 900 in it, was the dogs danglers!

Made lots of cash around the Duron 800, very nippy in its day and was my bread and butter when doing a school job of 50 pcs one year, coupled with 512Mb and an A7V pro, deskstar 40Gb, it was bloody quick

Same here too, it was our standard chip for SME customers for well over a year - great for general usage and loadsa potential.

my duron was used as cannon fodder for my phase cooler and it survived the testing although now a little sticky from the dialectic grease

My Duron was pencil modded, clocked and killed...
Never liked them but compared to the Celerons of the time they were a competitive product.
Funny comparing the budget range we have today to the ones from time gone by. We've got it really good these days.

After checking my Socket A CPUs I have found the following Durons

700, 750, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200 and 1300 - All 100FSB

And one of the new 1600's !

Dont know why I got that one, I suppose it was really to replace the Thunderbird 1400 perhaps?

Anyway, Im sure they are all working... I should check them out and see about getting some ££ for them perhaps?

I've got an 800MHz Duron Mobile CPU sitting on my desk from an old laptop I ripped apart years ago! Also got a Athlon 64 3200+ too.

i saw a duron not long back in a meuseum, i think they were comparing it to a sinclaire ZX Spectrum.

honestly though, funnily enough the duron processor is one of those processors that i never actually owned.
