<< Besides... I tend to agree with Amdzone..a lot of gamer and hardware enthusiasts will go for the low cost SMP if its available... plus of course.. the Durons ability to overclock will add to this appeal... reading the message board forums on these sites -you will see the drooling >> Why would a gamer want a dual system at all, as far as I know there are no games that use multiple processors, and since win 2k doesn't support game playing nearly so well as win 95/98/ME, it's unlikely many of them have an OS installed that can even support multiple processors. I'd guess that if you benched a dual duron system in almost any game, it'd get it's ass handed to it by a 1.3 ghz athlon.
