Athlon 1400 vs Duron 800

I always loved the cheaper CPUs. I got my hands on an Athlon 1400 and I tested it against a Duron 800. It put the Duron to shame.

Page 1: Shameful Duron

<p>Let me say that I've always liked the underdogs. I've always bought the celerons
and durons over their bigger brothers. Why? I'm cheap, and they offer great
performance for the price. Ohh, and usually, they can be overclocked nicely
as well. I'm not going to bother anyone with more meaningless speaking. Here
is what I tested with:</p>
<ul>
<li>Duron 800(6x133FSB) or Athlon 1400(10.5x133FSB)
<li>EPoX 8KHA KT266
<li>Crucial 256MB DDR running at CAS2 Turbo
<li>IBM 20GB 60GXP Hard drive
<li>Geforce2 GTS 32MB
</ul>
<p>I only used sciencemark and sandra. Of course Nvidia was down when I was trying
to complete the quake benches...</p>

<p>I think the results speak for themselves. What more is there to say? Okay,
the Athlon is a bit more expensive but it is well worth it in the long run.
I'd like to thank my friend for letting me test his system.</p>
