Sempron warning
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 |

AMD Sempron™ 3100+ @ 1800Mhz FSB (Socket A) 256k" cache is half the size but 1800? |

If you're talking about the pricewatch ad, it's just a screwup.Note 754pin beside socket A.:-) And the Sempron for 754 is the same. if you want to reasonably vompare it to an Athlon 64 754 CPU, subtract 400 from the model number of the Sempron. IOW's the Athlon 64 2800+ is faster the the Sempron 3100+ for the same board.
