Wanting to build a new machine and can't find
info on AMD site comparing XP with Sempron.
Since the Sempron is much cheaper for supposedly
the same speed chip there must be a reason?
Anyone know what the differences are?
Thanks
Xeno

Semprons and drugs are the same. Just say no. See Sempron in link below.

Wes,
Thanks for the explanation of Sempron and FSB.
I totally understand it?
I am not a true aficionado ( nerd) I have always thought
that some (most) of the technical jargon used was rank
bovine excrement, so I appreciate your translations of
the excrement. Not knowing your exact credentials
I still feel you have helped me a lot.
Obviously I had apprehensions about what "I" could
read and interpret that put me on this crusade. Seems
I wasn't too far wrong in my feelings vs."my" knowledge.
Thanks again
Xeno

Check both cpus specs and compare from there . Look for a cpu with bigger l1
l2 cache and which one has a higher buss. . U want a cpu with a fast buss
..This will make it process data faster and your machine will be faster .

Is the Sempron 64-bit or not? - Hi, I am a little bit confused... ok, ok, a lot... is the Sempron a 64-bit processor like the Athlon64? Thanks! P.S. Please post all replies here... my e-mail is not real... sorry... just let me know if you want my real e-mail address... :^)

Sempron 2400+ Settings - Just met one of these things for the first time. By default, shows as XP 1000. Clocked up to show XP2000 and still stable with temp of 40C. Simple question, where should I leave it without contravening the manufacturers settings? Doubt if it...

Sempron or Barton - I am upgrading my system. Wondering if I could get some of your opinions and reason why on the following hardware. First possible configuration - Barton 2600+, 333FSB, 512k cache (1.917GHz actual) mated to a ASUS A7N8X E Deluxe ( http://tinyurl.com/mknh...

Socket A & 754 Sempron caution. - I don't know if this is well known or not but AMD has used different criteria in giving the Sempron line of cpu's its PR numbers. So don't buy a Sempron 3100+ expecting it to be faster than an Athlon 64 3000+. Because it's nowhere close to as fast. AMD..

Athlon XP 2500+ How Hot is to Hot? - Hi, How hot is too hot for the Athlon XP 2500+ "Barton"? I've had one spotaneous reboot in three days and I'm concerned. I've seen it up around 107 F occasionally. Too hot? What's the maximum?
