Athlon XP3000+ or Sempron 3000
Athlon XP3000+ or Sempron 3000
I'd like to upgrade my system and was thinking about adding another 512mb Ram and either an Athlon XP3000+ or Sempron 3000 - is there any difference? Will I get much of an improvement over my current spec?
My current set-up is:
AMD Athlon XP2600+
MSI KT4V-L (MS6712)
ATI Radeon 9600XT 256MB
512MB Ram
Any suggestions would be appreciated - but I am on a bit of a shoestring budget!

You get 100MHz more in the core and 67MHz more in the FSB for the Athlon XP 3000. I would highly suggest it.
Sempron 3000 (Socket A) Specs
Athlon XP 3000 (400MHz FSB) Specs
Remember, the Semprons on Socket A are K7s.
K8 CPUs exist on Sockets 754/939/940.

Then get the Athlon XP 3000 (333MHz FSB).
The retail and the OEM cost the same.
I'm assuming this is your motherboard.
