There is also a few budget single core AM2 semprons around, I have one from one of the earlier NCIX budget systems last year.

Duron brand is AMD and Pentium brand is Intel. But you are half correct, it is comparable to PIII.

That Duron is probably Socket A (462).

PIII sounds about right... my first Duron chip was 800 Mhz (That would have been 2002 I believe).

I wouldn't buy it.

Duron = Celeron IMO. Bottom of the line AMD CPU for Socket A.

If it was a Thunderbird (which I'd say is more similar to a PIII) it would be an okay system but still pretty damn shyt for these times.

And yeah, you must of been around when these were popular. It's probably just because you didn't have a custom system back then so you have an Intel P3/Celeron. I however had a custom build with a Thunderbird 1.2GHz but I killed the CPU (by accident of course) after it was retired to my server.

A Duron processor was a socket A processor or socket 462 if you want to be exact. It was ok for a budget build in its day but that day has long passed.

Yep socket A, and it was comparable to a P3. Single core. It was a great budget chip back in the day. I would not spend too much money on that rig though Cactus...

Lol I remember I tried to put together a Duron-based rig back in 2001 while I was drunk...put heatsink on backwards and crushed the core (there are no heatspreaders on those suckers)
