That doesn't mean that whole Sempron series is not worth its price.
Sempron 2300+ with its price lower than XP 2000+ is pretty cheap
processor.


The cheapest Sempron I could find was a 2400+ for $60. That's the same as
a 2000+ XP, which sells for $48. But it's your money.:-)


I just picked up from Fry's in Dallas a Sempron 2200+ and a ECS K7VTA3
motherboard combo for $49. That was $25 for the Sempron 2200+ and $24
for the motherboard. This combo is the cheapest I have seen in a long
time. My mom will be more than happy as this system will replace her
aging K6-400 system.
