I alwaysd get random parts at Fy's. You buy it right off the shelf for cheap. |
| pointdablame:
Price is decent. Vendor is atrocious. Buy at your own risk. |

Also, consider going with a real processor (not a low end one). Not sure on the semptrons... but the celeries where 10% slower then the pentiums... but in emulation they showed 20-30% slower per clock cycle. Same with durons / athlons. the lack of processor cache shows up more in emulation then other applications. |

I believe the Sempron is just the new name for the XP, which was AMD's flagship before the Bartons and AMD64's hit the street. I would worry about the rebate, as even if they have a guarantee, this appears to be THEIR (not a manufacturer's) rebate, so if they are guaranteeing to pay their own rebates but they haven't in the past . . . BTW, OT, Soyo is also terrible about rebates. Bought one of their mobo's locally from Micro Center and after 10 months and 3 E-mails to Soyo, Micro Center ended up sending me THEIR OWN check for the rebate (plus a $25 gift card 8) ) |
