Sempron 64 3400+? Don't be surprised if this is the Sempron's last hurrah. Maybe I'm crazy, but I can't see AMD pushing the socket 754 envelope much further....It'll make a nice computer, but it will probably be an orphan in six months. The Athlon X2 and Opteron CPUs will be garden-variety soon enough. Almost scary how fast CPUs become dated--almost from their release date, now!
It is amazing how quickly today's 'latest & greatest' becomes the slow-poke of tomorrow.! My first 'puter was around 1998, a HP with a 500Mhz, and that was one of the faster ones...people were excited about o/c'ing their rigs and getting up to 800Mhz.!! I, for one, cannot afford to have the 'latest & greatest', so I will have to be content with something middle-of-the-road...and that's okay with me since I really don't need the top end stuff for what I use this 'puter for...but if I ever won the lottery ( which I never play), or if I had the proverbial 'rich uncle that died and left me a lot of money ' ( which I don't have, either...darn !!), then I most certainly would enjoy trying to have the 'latest & greatest' computer !!
i was wondering you know you said about the dual core and the opterons. aren't the new opterons supposed to be released late 2006-2007 and be quad core?
