I would go Athlon64. The Sempron processors typically have lower cache. Also, some early Semprons were only 32 bit, not 64. Although the Semprons are quite a bit cheaper. Here's a Wikipedia page on the Sempron:<br>

<br>am possibly in the market for a new socket 754 cpu to replace this. yes<br>it is on the older side and will therefore be harder to find a<br>replacement. I have seen so far my only options are between Athlon64 and<br>
Semperon. So, I am going to nudge the list a little to see what peoples<br>opinions are on these cpu's. so whats your thoughts?<br>_______________________________________________<br>Cialug mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Cialug@cialug.org">
