Im thinking about building a new computer. Im about to get a duron 800 with an asus a7v, 300w power supply, and all that other chunky stuff. What i wanna know is if this cpu will overclock without too many problems. I heard that certain ones have problems. any info would be appreciated.

I'd say it depends whether you just want the overclock or whether you're after performance - cos a duron will probably give a better overclock (800 should be pretty sure for a gig), but a tbird will perform better (an 800 might only get to 950, but it'd be faster than the gig duron).
