    Post Morgan CPU

    Im just wondering if it is worth to wait for the Morgan to come on since I am already planning on buying a Duron 900. Is there any sense in getting the Morgan over the Duron except for its lower power consumption and les heat? Just want to know because I want to purchase soon. Thanks.

    Well, I've heard that the earliest desktop Athlons based on Palomino will be in mid-July. That being the case, Morgan should follow sometime after.

    If you can't wait then get the Duron.

    What board do you have? If you can overclock, most ANY Duron will hit 950-1 ghz. I'm talking all the way down to the ol' 650! Or, if you can o/c, get like a 700 Tbird, and overclock it. I think you'll be better pleased by the performance of it!

    Im trying to keep the price down otherwise I would pick up an Athlon. Im just planning to use the Duron 900 for half the year then save up and get an Athlon 4 when it's needed. Ill be using an Abit KT7A. Thanks.
