Duron or Athlon (800MHz)

[tbalazs]

For mainly word-processing and email use, with a moderate amount of graphics (but not high-end design), is an 800MHz AMD Athlon worth the expense over a Duron?

Thanks,
Tony.

But then again....I haven't priced the difference lately. I buy the Duron 800 for about $65 US.

The Duron 700MHz will soon disappear from most retailers... great time now to grab one somewhere dirt cheap. Difference between it and an 800 (for what use you describe) is negligible.
