need a little help choosing a cpu

(1/4) > >>

Layer01:
just about to build my Mame PC, but i realised i know nothing of AMD CPU's anymore,  and now with all their new crazy names and number schemes i am lost.
just dont want to end up buying the AMD ULTRA GIGA  5000XP + SUPER only to find its a  100 mhz cpu lol 
;D

i want to get something mid ranged, but towards the higher end of the mid range. so that i can play 3D emu's like epsxe and chanckast when it works better etc... so if i were to get an intel i'd get a P4 2.8ghz (unless thats not enough for 3d emulators?? yet another area i'm a little lost in) so i guess whatever is the rough equivilant....not sure wether to get sempron (guessing its their cheap-ass cpu) or XP+  or their Athlon 64  ???

so suggest away  8)

2.8C in my main gaming rig.. more than enough for about everything.

Beeeph:
AMD sempron 2400+ and mobo from frys for $39.99...and it works great!

2.8C ? what does the C stand for? and what type of chip is it?

the sempron 2400+ what is that ghz wise? roughly

elvis:
What games do you want to play?  There are some games that you'll have absolutely no chance of playing any time on any cpu made in the next 2-3 years.  And there are others that will run fine on 1GHz or less.
