I haven't bought built a new computer in a while...so, I pick up 2
motherboards pretty cheap. I know they might be old (by today's
standards), but I'm sure they will be fast enough for me.
One is a Duron/Athlon MB = KT266AD Socket A MB with a Duron 1.8GHZ
the other is a SOYO P4VGA (data bus speeds of 400 and 533 MHz) it
takes P4 up to 3.06 GHZ, I have not bought a CPU for this MB yet.
I'm keeping both system, but I want the faster one to be my game
machine.
So overall which MB has more potential ? I know MHz for MHz AMD cpu's
are faster. I was looking at a 2.6 Ghz P4 (expensive compared to the
Duron).
So what's faster, a 1.8 duron or 2.6 P4 ?
Also, overall, which setup is faster considering the motherboards and
memory speeds ?
I'm guessing the P4 setup will have the edge because of the GHz of the
CPU and the DDR memory (HD will be the same).
Thanks,
