Hi guys i just got a quick question. I got 2 cpus and i dont know which one better. One is a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ and the other one is a AMD Duron 2200 Pro. Im guessing the Duron is faster but the way AMD names these things is weird. Thanks for all your help guys.
hi.. the difference between the 2 is VERY minimal .. as im sure u know.. the way amd measures its cpu's isnt the same way as intel does.. example:
Intel = 2.0GHz = 2.0Ghz
AMD = 2000+ = about 1.8Ghz i think

Sorry guys but i got another question. This is for my brothers computer. He has integrated video and this is all i know about it:
Video Memory = 64MB Share Memory
Rending Ability = 2D Hardware Acceleration
3D Rendering
Integrated AGP 4X
So it doesnt have any AGP slots or anything. I have a PCI Radeon 7000 lying around and i could pop that in but would it be better than whats built in?
Once again thanks a ton guys.

Yes. Using onboard video takes away from your total memory and makes the cpu work a lot more.
