Which is better?

For gaming performance (to be used on an nforce mobo) which CPU is better? (they go for about the same price) A 950MHz Thunderbird, or a 1. 2GHz Duron?.

That's what I was thinking, but I know the Duron is a weaker processor. What advantages does the Thunderbird have, despite it's slower speed?

Thanks for the input.

While I'm at it, is it a safe assumption that you can put a MicroATX mobo in an ATX case? In this case (no pun intended) an Antec SX630.

From the images of the mobo and case, it apprears the holes match the MicroATX.

Which is better?
