Comment:
Hi i know this really does not fit this topic but i need to know. Does a AMD DURON (TM) 1.2 have sse. Because the game that i am playing right now on my P4 1.7 is called Dungeons and dragons online and here on the system require ments Processor - P4 1.6Ghz or AMD equivalent with SSE memory - 512MB of RAM Grapics Card - 64MB software windows xp Directx 9. My AMD DURON has 1gb Of DDR memory, also a KC7S5A mother board witch is a great mother board. A Gforce 128MB card. And a Sb Live audio card. It is running better than my P4 1.7 with Pc 133 512mb memory. I just really want to be able to play that game and hope to find out if it has sse on it. Please let me know if it does. thanks have a nice day.
Well i'm not sure, most Duron's dont have SSE.. but some do, so you may be lucky... Download CPUz, it will tell you exactly what instructions your CPU has:
But on the other hand, i don't think the Duron will be faster than the P4.. If you really want to play it well i would stick that 1GB and the 128MB videocard in the P4 system..
no the Duron is about as fast as a P4 1.8 my P4 1.7 is not all that fast and does not support DDr memory. I also paid 300 for the DUron years ago and then 20bucks for the pc that i am using atm.
No, it's not. It's clocked 400MHz less & only has 64k L2 cache. It's not comparable. It may be installed on a better/faster motherboard than the P4 & THAT may make a difference, but the lower clock speed & less L2 cache cannot be made up for.
Lol yea well i still got the answer i was looking for. My duron has sse. But my Alathon is abit new than the duron and does not have SSE so i guess it might not be as fast but still runs a lot smoother than the P4. I would use a Duron instead of a P4 ne day if it can play the game then great. But thnxx for the info guys.
download "cpu-z" by searching from google.com... It should tell you what instruction your CPU has. Seems to me like you have a Morgan 1.2g Duron, it should have SSE...
I'm sorry but the Duron was not a good budget processor for its day. 128k L1 cache and 64k L2 cache????? That pretty much explains it. The celeron clocked at the same speed was better.
lol yea but the Duron is sweet. AMD does not believe in clock speed, they believe in more hardware type products for top of the line cheap and good working processors.
The Duron was an ok processor but it was basic budget like what the K6-2 became in it's twilight years once the Athlon 500mhz hit the scene. It would have been a much better processor if the cache settings weren't backwards. I never totally understood why the L1 cache would be larger then the L2 on those processors. I guess they flipped flopped it around so that the Duron wouldn't compete with their own Athlon processor at the time. Still if that was the case they could have gave it 32k in the L1 and 64k in L2.
<<lol yea but the Duron is sweet. AMD does not believe in clock speed, they believe in more hardware type products for top of the line cheap and good working processors.>>
You've been told about the limitations and comparisons and why it is not sweet, but you persist in this delusional thinking. Did an older brother tell you this or what? I googled for Duron+sweet and couldn't get anything relevant. Only forum drivel.
