Remember this is socket 7, I can't use a Duron or P3 in this
motherboard.

Plus, this confuses me, why do all the vendors stock the AMD K6II? AMD
made a K6-3 that was supposed to be better becasue it's cache ran at
full speed, unike the K6-2.

Is the Duron an AMD cpu, or is it an entry level Intel processor,
similar to the Celeron?
