very well written review !
enjoyed reading it.

nice review,
I expected the difference to be a little bit bigger, turns out the cache isn't that important voor AMD

but why didn't you mod the duron applebred so the full cache was restored? Like they did @ Overclockers.com

It wasn't his Applebred + CPU was gone before the mod was released :)

J have K7S5A motherboard from ECS and my duron 1600 works with no vmod on 166 FSB which gives 2000MHz. On this setting every benchmark works well and there are no lockups.
Sandra 2004 results: multimedia: integer 18380 (XP2600+ 19080), float: 21064 (XP2600+19334)

that a pretty good bang-4-the-buck in my humble opinion :)

i have it now and will test it with h20 and will try the mod

i'll post it here when it is finished

greetz

that's an understatement :)

Can this CPU run in a SMP system???

presumably
check the 2cpu.com forums for more SMP info :)

is it unlocked by default on a nforce² mobo??
like the other AMD CPU's

yups.

is it available in Belgium yet?

yups, forcom.be

Need.. a ... 1800+ :D

Forgot to log in.. that was me.

I have a choice to make, to keep my Atlon T-bird 1.33 Ghz (OC at 1.5) or to try the new duron 1.4 GHz Applebred... What cpu will have the best performance?

the new duron and oc it

but make sure that your motherboard can handle that cpu

greetz

the duron will defenately do 2 Ghz, maybe more, on low voltage....

But ike da boka said, make sure you mobo can handle 0.13µ cpu's?

Tanks for the info!

I just had a new Asus A7N8X-X, Im shure it work with the new duron! Will try to find one and post my results

:^D Wow!!!

The 1.4 version run perfectly stable at 2 gig (12x166) with vcore set at 1,575v. I currently run it at 11.5x166, vcore at 1.550, thats what i call "conservative" setting :super:

It's the most cost effective Cpu that ever existed... Shame on you Celeron's of this world!!

eum, celerons also overclock well :)

nicu duron you got there, cab you write down the core stepping ?

Core stepping?

DHD1400LV1C

the line under that one ;)

Sorry for the delay, I am curently out of town, will get back and post the correct core stepping when i get back, in 2 days
