I don't think it's fair to say that the Duron is kicking the Celeron's butt. Looking at the review, comparing the Duron 700 to a Celeron 566. I would hope it would beat it. It would be a sad day for AMD if it didn't!. But let's flip the coin here. Lets overclock that 566 to 850 on the good old trusty BX chipset and what happens. The Celeron beats the Duron in all of the benchmarks listed except one. Sure, it's comparing apples to oranges, but isn't comparing a 700 to a 566 a bad comparison as well?

If it ain't broke, you're not pushing hard enough!
