Sempron or Athlon (AMD)

Post by XT|Fict1on »

guys im looking for a new pc to buy but i have just 1 problem...make it 2....money and i cant decide what processor should i get. ive seen some amd sempron for nice prices. is a sempron 3400 good enough with 512mb and an ati 256mb vid card to play doom3? (it doesnt need to be best quality (resolution)) athlons r just a little bit more expensive but more expensive so im excluding it for now. heelp!!

Get Althon 4200+ or 4400+ dual core will be about 200 for 4400 and 4200 will be like 180ish. I recommend getting 4400 cause it's one more meg of cache. ATI cards are very good they are underrated... They perform well past Nvidia when it comes to DVD's/ Videos/Web Editing/ Video Editing. Only thing that nivida has an edge on is gaming graphics. ATI is still very good. Yes i would have to agree with you storm i did have a x700 pro and was very impressed with it.

conroe is $220 and is one of the best cpu out there :)

***Note I am an AMD Fan-boy, but the conreo is currently smoking all others! 2MB Partial sharing CACHE! DUDED TAHT PWNS!!!!

***Note2 This is also a cheaper Conroe and shouldnt be confused with the EXTREAM EDITION which is $999 and a HELL LOAD better
