Yes there is, because even tho a Duron is considered a slow processor, it is still much MUCH faster than the memory/system bus, so boosting the latter will result in a performance increase. Also, if you go the DDR route you leave yourself open to further upgrading possibilities in future that will not cripple performance.
If you went for a duron + DDR, and the motherboard can also support XP CPU's, then go for it. when you decide to upgrade to an Athlon XP, then it's as simple as anything.
DDR definitely helps the Duron. I was running a Duron 800 OC'd to 1074MHz and I could definitely tell I had a major performance boost from it besides the overclocking.
