Hi guys - It's me again, asking hardware questions!
I'm about to replace an Athlon 1.4, and the motherboard which goes with it. I need to know if the Sempron is (as I sceptically suspect) more a marketing move forward in the field of processor design than an improvement over the Duron. Does anyone have a take on this? Right now it seems to be difficult to get Athlons at the low end - they are simply out of stock. So my choice is between an Athlon XP 2200+ (266 FSB) and a Sempron 2500 (333 FSB). Both have 256K cache. I'm proposing an Asus A7N8X-VM microATX board, stll using my 512Mb of PC2100 ram (i.e. 266 bus speed), and putting SuSE 9.1 pro onto that. Should be a nice system I hope! Thanks in advance for any comments or advice! Neil _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
