Ah... the code name for the now named 'Duron' processor. A very nice processor indeed. It is known as the little brother to the Thunderbird processor.

Processor Specs:

Bus Clock: 200 MHz (DDR)
L1-Cache Size: 128k
L2-Cache Size: 64k
L2-Cache Interface: 64-bit
Platform: Socket 462
Chipsets: VIA Apollo KT133, AMD750, 760
Performance: about 90% of Athlon/Thunderbird at same clock frequency, 92 - 99% of Athlon Classic at same clock frequency.

The motherboard I would use, or should say, going to use, is the Abit KT7-Raid. Goto Abit's web site for info on the board. It's www.abit-usa.com.
