If your buying a CPU... go with the 900 or more. They are all within a few dollars of each other. It might be a good time to upgrade your current duran. (13 dollars between the 850 and 900 right now on pricewatch). Also, if you don't have a motherboard... remember that the athlons gain about 20% speed increase of a duron at the same clock cycle. Durons are better at overclocking, but if you don't plan on overclocking, the athlons are really in the same price/performance (even better for the 1ghz athlon for 123 when the 950 duron is 121)... Since they run on the same motherboards in many cases, its always worth it.

I didn't think stun runner ran in any processor out.. I will have to retry it... it might be faster then the first driver.
