I don't know how they exactly stack up, maybe you can search for comparisons in ZDNET. What I know is that after owning 5 AMD processors I have had no problems, and that if AMD says or names a processor after a similar Intel model, their performance is pretty similar in real world applications.

>intereting indeed. and I don't want to sound like an smart as.. but I kind a knew that, the two computer I am comparing are the same configuration 264ram, 40GB hdd 7500revolutions, 17" monitor and a 52x cd rom, I am trying to decide between duron 2000 and celeron 1.8, the diference in $ are significant.
