" Which chip would be faster for a system built for gaming? "


Athlon XP 2600+ 2133MHz 256KB 266FSB Thoroughbred-B
Athlon XP 2600+ 2083MHz 256KB 333FSB Thoroughbred-B
Athlon XP 2600+ 1917MHz 512KB 333FSB Barton
Sempron 3000+ 2000MHz 512KB 333FSB Barton

The 3000+ is the only socket A Sempron with 512KB L2 cache, so it's actually
a little better than the XP 2600+.

and it's great for games

Half life 2 is superb
