Oli Brooks.'s Review of AMD Duron Processor
19th Jul 2001
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Quality
Lots of speed for your money, after a good look around I found that the AMD Duron seems to be the best value choice.
Bad Points
They didn't have a retail boxed option so no instructions etc (I am not all that technical but my son managed to fit it with ease)
General Comments
Upgrading from an early Celeron system so it was a new board, memory and processor that was needed.
Decided on the AMD Duron as it seemed to be a good budget solution, knowing I could upgrade at a later stage was handy.
It would be good if AMD sold them as retail packaged including heatsinks as I nearly forgot to buy the heatsink.
Highly recommended for those of you on tighter budgets like myself!
On average, people found this review very helpful
