| 437452 | 2006-03-11 05:20:00 | I've currently got an ECS L7vta motherboard with a crappy Duron sitting in it. I reckon its time for a processor upgrade THe Chipset - KT400-VT8235 supports up to athlonXP 3000+ @ 333FSB current Bios Version 6.00PG Semprons need the latest BIos version of 17j the version 17j sounds a bit "random" - a difference from 6.00PG (just a note) my computer's specs (current) AMD Duron 1.3ghz ECS L7VTA rev1.0 Motherboard Veritech DDR400 512MB Ram ST3600-15A 60gig HDD- seagate ATi Radeon- R9250L- C3H 128MB yeah, its time for a new CPU but i just need some recomendations, of wether to upgrade to An AthlonXP (barton) CPU or a newer Sempron They all seem to cost the same (amazingly) and my motherboard supports both. any suggestions would be good cheers |

| 437454 | 2006-03-11 09:38:00 | But isn't the A64 much better than the AXP? So logically, a cut down version of A64 would be equal to, or better than a AXP... I certainly have noticed them to be a bit faster. But I guess it's like comparing apples to oranges in a way.. | Neongreen (6358) | ||
| 437455 | 2006-03-11 10:11:00 | A64 IS better. HOWEVER this is Socket A we're talking about and they didnt make A64's for that :annoyed: | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 437456 | 2006-03-11 10:43:00 | Whoa, I was thinking socket 754, not A :P | Neongreen (6358) | ||
