Do you want to mention them for the non-telepathic amongst us?
OK. Let's talk facts. You think the Thunderbird "does not suck" (I'm
following your penchant for technical language, naturally). I've already
mentioned that a Duron is roughly 10% slower and 40% cheaper than a
Thunderbird of the same clock rating (this is based on local price lists and
the most common benchbarks. I can dredge up details if you want.)
In what way does that "suck"?
More importantly, now that I have got to grips with my installation issues,
my Duron runs every application and game that I want (including current
games) well, and it has done so without breaking the bank. Sure, if I wanted
every game running at 1600x1200 at 60fps or I were doing gene research or
something I probably wouldn't choose a Duron. But in my case (and many
others) the Duron is the best tool for the job, at the best price.
So, again, how does that "suck"?
I think you're going to have to define "suck" a little better for us poor
idiots*** out in this newsgroup . . .
I don't know what they charge in your country, but find the price of a Duron
900, add the price of a motherboard (I have a Gigabyte GA-7ZXR Rev 2.2) and
then please tell me what I should rather have spent my money on. I'll be
very interested to hear your advice.

BTW: You should really start a hardware review site. Here I spend my time
reading long multi-page articles from Tom's Hardware, AnandTech, etc., when
all I really need is a simple "sucks" or "does not suck" recommendation.
Silly me.

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
