    sempron vs athlon
    « on: September 08, 2007, 01:38:11 PM »
    I was wondering if there is big difference in performance between:
    Amd Sempron 2800+ and AMD Athlon 2700++.
    Would it be worth upgrading?
    Thank You.

    Nothing you will notice...

    IMHO...If your motherboard supports it...I'd recommend a Pentium 4 processor over both of those AMD CPUs.

      I've never seen a motherboard that supports both an AMD processor and an Intel one ?  Did I miss something ?
      System specs:
      Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (up to 3.3 stock V and air)
      ASUS Striker Extreme
      XFX 8600GT XXX Edition
      2x 1gB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800
      Seagate Barracuda 320gB SATA
      Raidmax Ninja 918 (520W ATXV2.0 PSU)

      Maybe I should clarify myself...

      If you're upgrading from one AMD to the other...you really won't notice much of a difference.

      However, if you have, or wish to purchase a new motherboard...P4 would be the better choice over those AMD processors.

        I just wanted to get quick and cheep fix, but I will be switching to Intel soon. I am going to build new system with one of Core 2 Duo processors probablly E6850.
        Thanks for response.
