i am building a comp but am not sure which cpu to get because i'm only sorta literate please advise me which is better (and if you feel like educating me, why)
heres the two choices
AMD Sempron 2800+ Palermo 800MHz FSB 256KB L2 Cache Socket 754 1.6ghz
or
AMD Sempron 2800+ Thoroughbred 333MHz FSB 256KB L2 Cache Socket A 2.0ghz
both are retail price (with heatsink and fans) and are around same price
there may be other differences im just to illiterate to know
thanx for your help
It depends on the motherboard you're getting. One's a Socket A, and one's Socket 754. Those are different processor socket types.
Personally, I wouldn't fool with either of those-- if you're building a computer, I'd look for a motherboard/processor setup that uses Socket 939, as AMD is or will be dropping support for both Socket A and Socket 754.
