Sempron or Athlon (AMD)
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.
Specs:
Amd 4800+ Dual Core (2.41ghz)
BFG 8800gt oc 512mb
Asus M2n32-sli motherboard
WD 150 Raptor X harddrive (10,000rpm, 16mb cache)
3 gigs of Corsair XMS ram
550w PSU Antec
X-fi Fatal1ty sound blaster

***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
