(OT?) Athlon XP or Sempron?
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 |

Anyone know what the differences are? Semprons and drugs are the same. Just say no. See Sempron in link below. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php Verizon server http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

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 . "Xeno Chauvin" wrote in message ...
