Actually, i wouldnt trust benchmarks on this one.

See, the p3 have more level2 cache. And the duron has a higher fsb. The duron will perform better in benchs like sandra, but it will lose in quake3 and such.
In sandra a 800mhz duron, scores-

CPU Benchmark:
2244 MIPS
1100 MFLOPS

P3 @ 750mhz (100mhz fsb, 50mhz slower then Duron)-

2025 MIPS
1005 MFLOPS

And in CPU multi-media

Duron -

Integer - 4370 MMX
Floating point - 5470 3d Now!

P3 -

Integer - 4070 SSE
Floating point - 4980 SSE

The p3 would score about the same at the same clock speed, and a bit more with the 133mhz fsb.

I honestly think the p3 is much superior then the duron, but would still get the duron cause i could go to 1.4ghz tbird later
