That's a good point. AMD is just manufacturing Durons and Thunderbirds currently
to my knowledge. But it's not impossible to get your hands on an old Athlon.
Though I'm not sure if they made a 1.2GHz model. Then there's also Kryotech
versions with various clockspeeds on the market. I just assumed that they would
be consistant and write T-bird throughout. But I tend to agree with you. The
1.2GHz Athlon is most likely a Thunderbird.
