Think I'll side with Wes' thoughts here. Another money grab. My XP2400 is

It has a Dark side, a Light side, and it holds all the pieces of the Universe togethe "Wes Newell" wrote in message newsan.2004.08.26.01.10.13.55407@TAKEOUTverizon. net... Don't get screwed by purchasing a new Sempron CPU. They aren't new. They are just Tbred cores rated with a different benchmark suite to give then higher PR (model) numbers. The fact is that the Spempron 2800+ ($107) only runs at about the same perfomance level as the XP 2400+ ($53). And why shouldn't it, it the same cpu, clocked at the same base cpu clockspeed. The only difference is that all the Sempron require a default 166MHz FSB. XP 2400+, core Tbred B, 15x133, 2000MHz Sempron 2800+, core Tbred B, 12x166, 2000MHz. Don't get screwed. And tell everyone you can. I find this move by amd to be no diiferent than GM taking a chevy and putting the name Cadilac on it and doubling the price. Buyer beware. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |
