they're super cheap and they do a really good job despite what some of you think. i mean all i really do is surf the web and d/l mp3's, but my duron can hold its own in most 3D games as well, not that i play alot of them. however, i will say that if you DO decide to get a Duron, i'd get the 1.3 GHz and get it boxed so you don't have to worry about that fan. i dunno, it stays fairly cool and i've never had a problem with my system now. and besides that, you could always upgrade in the future if you wish to do so.
