xs1 Posted October 3, 2005 CID Share Posted October 3, 2005 Sempron is to AMD as Celeron is to Intel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOhioRR Posted October 3, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 3, 2005 s1. I know this......im building a budget PC that does internet browsing/everyday tasks......no gaming, nothing major........ Will that CPU run on that Motherboard? The mobo say's Socket 754 and so does the CPU, but the CPU say's 800mhz fsb and the mobo only goes to 533......is that REALLY an 800 mhz fsb on the CPU? I thought AMD's didnt run that high.

resopalrabotnick Posted October 3, 2005 CID Share Posted October 3, 2005 your best bet is to just buy a mobo proc bundle. compatible and cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted October 3, 2005 CID Share Posted October 3, 2005 if i were you, i would stay away from a amd sempron, they are a shitty product. if you spend a little more you can get a much fast and more relyable computer. get this processor or one of the slightly slower ones http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Manufactory=1157&PropertyCodeValue=507%3A6982&PropertyCodeValue=517%3A7842&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&description=&MinPrice=&MaxPrice=&SubCategory=343&Submit=Property and this mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128296 the key with proccessors and mobo's is, you get what you pay for.

JustinOhioRR Posted October 3, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 3, 2005 Thanks disturbed....... You can actually OC this cpu very easily and its stable......some kid oc'ed his to 2.6GHz w/no problems..... I hate people who think you HAVE to buy Intel to get a good processor.... Do you people know that a Sempron is simply a Athlon rebadged? Most do not know that. Anyways, im building a budget pc that will run me a tad over 200 bucks with shipping......and for what i do, that seems plenty... AMD Sempron 64 800mhz fsb 1.6 ghz speed 128L2cache (not enough), 512 ddr 400 damn i cant wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted October 3, 2005 CID Share Posted October 3, 2005 I have a Sempron 2400+ on a ASRock K7S41 Motherboard with 512 PC3200 Ram and it runs great. Would I use another Sempron you bet. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitbull481 Posted October 3, 2005 CID Share Posted October 3, 2005 Im looking to buy this: Gateway 818GM AMD Athlon 64 3400+ / 512MB DDR / 200GB HDD / DVD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOhioRR Posted October 3, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 3, 2005 Sempron64 and Athlon64 are the same processor, the Athlon just has 128K more L2 cache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOhioRR Posted October 3, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 3, 2005 So I have decided to go with this setup: MSI K8MM Motherboard (offbrand) 512 MB DDR 400 (PC 3200) AMD Sempron 64 2600+ Palermo 800MHz FSB All of that shipped for $187.82. Im more comfortable with an MSI board over that ?FOXCONN? board. I am ordering it tonight, hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinOhioRR Posted October 5, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 5, 2005 found out the sempron i am getting is 64-bit enabled...........thats a plus here i come vista!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptors892004 Posted October 5, 2005 CID Share Posted October 5, 2005 Its 64 bit but only 1.6ghz.. It will still run Vista but may be slow with some new programs that demand a lot of cpu power.. Still a good deal for that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilatedpeoples28 Posted October 5, 2005 CID Share Posted October 5, 2005 1.6 ghz is def gonna struggle with vista unless u have a top of the line gpu. Vista isnt gonna be 64bit mandatory by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptors892004 Posted October 5, 2005 CID Share Posted October 5, 2005 Vista isnt gonna be 64bit mandatory by the way. So far I heard it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilatedpeoples28 Posted October 5, 2005 CID Share Posted October 5, 2005 2GB is the ideal configuration for [glow=red,2,300]64-bit Vista, we're told. Vista 32-bit [/glow] will work ideally at 1GB, and minimum 512. However, since 64-bit is handling data chunks that are double the size, you'll need double the memory, hence the 2GB. Nigel mentions DDR3 - which is a little odd, since the roadmap for DDR3, on Intel gear at least, doesn't really kick in until 2007. def gonna have to different versions, with all of the 32bit cpus still coming out and are gonna continue to come out they wouldnt make 64bit manditory.

Swimmer Posted October 5, 2005 CID Share Posted October 5, 2005 Alright.. the mobo will support the processor both support FSB 800MHz Hyper Transport (1600MT/s)... As far as vista will go.. from what I have been reading you are going to want the most up todate processor you can get your hands on.. CPU: Threading is the main target for Vista. Currently, very little of Windows XP is threaded - the target is to make Vista perform far better on dual-core and multi-core processors. Since there are no dual core 32bit processor that I know of.. 64bit looks to be the way to go.. I dont know if HT counts.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOhioRR Posted October 5, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 5, 2005 The processor runs at 1.6ghz, yes, but that is equivalent to a 2.8 Celeron D. If you dont knwo waht you are talking about, please dont say anything, You are an idiot. Vista requires alot, I know, this is a budget PC for now, until I can afford some more things for it. Currently I am running XP PRo SP2 on a Celeron 600 with 384 PC133 ram....and taht runs fine. you people think you have to have THEEE best things to run new stuff, NO, you just have to know how to manage it. Swimmer - Thanks for that info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
