| 422981 | 2006-01-21 07:50:00 | I'm deciding which CPU I should get for a socket A motherboard, a second hand athlon XP 2600+, or a sempron 2400+, they all cost roughly the same, and have similar specs, the main difference is that they run on different cores. Any help would be great, thanks. |

| 422983 | 2006-01-21 09:07:00 | id get the athlonXP 2600+ barton core and a good heatsink, then overclock to 3200+ speeds 200mhz fsb 11x multiplier. all the bartons use identicle cores, although your miliage may vary, so you might only gget 3000+ speeds. last i saw on pricespy the 3200+ was like $350+ while at teh time the 2600+ was like $150-200 |

| 422984 | 2006-01-21 09:56:00 | Why ask? You already have a CPU according to this thread. pressf1.pcworld.co.nz You now need to install. Possibly you do not have a CPU which makes the above thread worthless. For me I would use a Athlon 2600+ |
