Processor Speed
I just saw an article on anandtech comparing durons and celerons. The durons run on a slower fsb, have less cache, and the celeron has a higher clock speed. But the duron outpaces the celeron a lot. How can this be? What else affects the speed of the processor?
P.S The test rigs were using same ram, graphics, etc. |

Wrong
Sorry, I was wrong about the cache. But I have another question as well, why isn't there a limit on the RAM speed? It only runs on a 133mhz fsb but it can run faster ram?

The design of the Athlon\Duron cpus work on a different principle and are able to perform more functions at a lower speed than the Intel line,hence the ratings.
The fsb is doubled so 133fsb is 266fsb. |

Instead of me trying to explain it,study up on these things so you can get a full grasp.
