Advantages: Incredibly cheap, reliable CPU Disadvantages: FSB+Cache could be better
The Sempron 3000+, now a lower end, low cost CPU. Is it still worth buying? In short, yes. I have just this week purchased a new PC, decided on the socket AM2sempron3000+. So far, so very, very good.
This is a chip that impresses, at around £35, you'd expect a budget, just about usable chip. This is far from reality, running XP professional edition is no longer a hair-loss inducing experience, and even better, I no longer get horrible skips and jumps and pauses through music and video.
For the overclockers, this is a recommended buy. We all know overclocking can be a risky business, but at this price, it really doesn't matter if you do need a new one. As far as overclocking goes, I've seen this chip OC at 50%, and heard it can run stable at more.

Advantages: very good, low price processor, overclockable Disadvantages: none as yet
when i bought a sempron 3000+ i didnt imagine it would be as good as it really is, the motherboards that support the sempron's also support quicker dual cores so when the time comes to upgrading again i will be able to buy a dual core with no extra fuss.
i have set up a whole system from scratch and this processor peformed brilliantly, i recomend this processor for all those who want a good low cost solution to upgrading,
NB the overclocking potential is about 1.5 times base. which is awesome and the ram speeds of the motherboards that support this processor are blistering. would recommend something like an ASUS A8V-VM to use with this product as its also a nice peice of engineering ...
