1215410 2011-07-07 06:41:00 I have finally got around to ordering my barebones kit today. My motherboard is an Asus M4N68T-M V2.

Question is, what sort of AMD CPU can I put in the motherboard without breaking the budget. Max I can spend on CPU is $80.

1215412 2011-07-07 07:16:00 Are the Semprons no good? QW. (15883)

Not really no, the one pctek mentioned is the the lowest/slowest I would go.

Thats dual core by the look of it. Are Semprons the equivalent of the Intel Celeron?
