The AMD Duron

processor is derived from the AMD Athlon

processor core.

It features full-speed, on-chip cache memory, a 200MHz front side system bus,

and enhanced 3DNow!™ technology. Although both processors are related, there

are key differences. The AMD Athlon

processor is targeted at the performance

segment, and as such will have more cache memory and higher clock speeds.

Accelerated Graphics Port

(AGP or A.G.P.)

Typically, 3D graphics rendering requires a tremendous amount of memory, and

demands ever increasing throughput speed as well. As 3D products for the

personal computer become more and more popular, these demands will only

increase. This will cause a rise in costs for both end users and manufacturers.

Lowering these costs as well as improving performance is the primary motivation

behind AGP. By providing a massive increase in the bandwidth available between

the video card and the processor, it will assist in relieving some of these pressures

for quite sometime.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems

operations and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM of

fan.
