So far so good, though I'm not getting the suggested speeds - I think this has more to do with my inexperience and MoBo settings. It's running damn cool under load (34C) so perhaps I have it undervolted or something (I'm getting about 1.4Ghz). This took over a week to get to me -- you have to phone TD for a tracking number because this is shipped from a 3rd party supplier.
Happy so far -- this is a very light processor (relative to old durons) so be carefull. Get a good fan too.

Works like a charm so far. I've been using the processor for about two weeks.

This is a surprise product for AMD. With performance beating out half of the Sempron line and unsurpassed compatibility with older motherboards, this 13x speed Duron chip is a steal!! Compare to Athlon XP 2100+, Sempron 2600+ and other high-multiplier chips. Add the benefits of an old style core's enhanced compatibility with Socket A and you have a real winner for your upgrade project! The only thing its not compatible with is your old-style aluminum CPU cooler. I recommend the very overdone ThermalTake TR2 or the Masscool 80mm model with copper bottom. A big thank-you to TigerDirect for a worry-free shopping experience that facilitates. . .buying more goodies!!!

Runs well, and fast enough for most uses. Runs cool enough that I can run my heat sink fan at slow speed greatly reducing noise.

What a deal! I was surprised when replaced my XP 2000+ with this Duron 1.8 and ran Sandra benchmark. The Duron is FASTER! And the reason is that this Duron is simply Athlon XP 2200+ with half of the cache disabled. Some ppl on the net are saying it is because the cache was faulty so AMD disabled it and marked the CPU as Duron. In normal computing like typing a letter or surfing the net it simply is FAST. I will recommend it to anyone who is not a games.
Heat Sinks - Many Shapes & Sizes!
A heat sink (or heatsink) is an object that absorbs and dissipates heat from
another object using thermal contact (either direct or radiant). Heat sinks
are used in a wide range of applications wherever efficient heat dissipation
is required; including for CPUs, Memory, Video Cards, and more.
Heat Sink Shapes Change!
Many products come with a Heat Sink, and some with a combination Heat Sink
and Fan. Keep in mind though, that manufacturers are constantly
improving the design of their cooling components, thus the shape and design
of the heat sink or heat sink & fan can change on any product at any time.
PLEASE NOTE:
Cooling Components Can Change At Any Time, And Do Not
Affect The Performance Or Specifications Of The Product.
How Do Heat Sinks Work?
Heat sinks function by transferring high temperature thermal energy (heat)
from one object (such as a CPU chip) to a second object (such as the Heat
Sink), which has a lower temperature, with a much greater heat capacity.
This rapid transfer of heat quickly balances the temperature of both
devices, lowering the temperature of the first. This is what makes a
heat sink a cooling device. Since room temperature is usually cooler than
the hot device, the Heat Sink helps cool the device, lowering its temp to
closer to room temperature.
The most common design of a heat sink is a metal device with many fins or
vanes. The high thermal conductivity of the metal combined with the large
surface area of the fins does the work to rapidly transfer heat to the
surrounding, cooler, air. This cools the heat sink and whatever it is in
contact with. Some Heat Sinks use the metal alone for cooling, some
use fluids (just like you car radiator) and a thermal interface material
(such as thermal gel) to ensure maximum heat transfer to the heat sink.
Adding a fan dramatically improves air flow, and improves the heat transfer
even more.
Remember The
Thermal Paste!
Remember that when you are adding a Heat Sink, you MUST USE
thermally conductive Gel or Paste, to form a good thermal contact between
the Heat Sink and the Device. Failing to use this will result in
reduced cooling, and possible failure and damage to the device!
