Just because you want a value computer system shouldn't mean sacrificing an entertaining gaming experience, right? In order to minimize the pain our video cards must endure, we use Normal Quality settings with v-sync off. Additionally, we have included sound on/sound off scores so you can make your own comparisons.

In perhaps the biggest victory we've seen, the Duron decimates the Celeron in all resolutions up until 1600x1200, where the GeForce2 limits performance. The difference between the 750 and 700MHz Duron processors, on the other hand, isn't terribly significant. Still, for under $200, you really can't go wrong with either CPU.
