AMD Sempron 3300+ / 2 GHz processor

Advantages: Cheap, Reliable, AMD
Disadvantages: Slowish compared to better CPUs

...becausw of the lower clock speed! this is why we get AMD Sempron 2800+ with a clock speed of 1.66ghz, The 2800+ merely indicates that this would outperform (hence the (+) at the end of the figures) an equivalent processor running at 2.8ghz. These rpcoessors are plug in and play, simply drop the processor into the socket, pull down the lever and clip on the heatsink and fan and there it is! Instructions do come with these processors if you buy the Retail Pack, the instructions have full colour step by step guides, you can;t go wrong! Intel are mass marketed and mainstream, TV adverts the lot, AMD....no, AMD processors are bought, used by people who are in the know how and don't need to rely on mass marketing schemes. This processor in particular is very nice. at 1.66ghz and 2800+ it allows applications to open and run rather quickly... Read review

AMD Sempron 2800+ is based on AMD x8664 architecture supporting MMX, Enhanced 3d Now, SSE, SSE2 and NX Bit. It support 64 Bit Operating systems and applications. We can extract the maximum performance from this processor if we use a 64 Bit Operating System with it. It doesn't heat up as AMD's older processors. I run Kubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 x64 having this processor and a 768 MB of DDR 400MHz RAM and its giving me much more than enough. It can serve you as good as an Intel 2GHz processor. If you are interested ina budget 64 bit processor and good performance then its for you... Read review
