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. welcome.gif

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

Ok, I get that but then whats the diffrence between a Athlon and a Duron, Are they the same or is one like a celeron.

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.
