NEC i-Select TW100 - Sempron 3000+ 1.8 GHz

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...

Advantages: Slim, sleak, stylish, great quality
Disadvantages: Non at all

...This is a truely great laptop, take it from someone who knows a thing or two seeing as i have had dozens of the things. This laptop has verything that a top brand has, if not better. Really slim and cool as well as fast easy and efficent. Was really impressed with this machine and would certainly recommend to every high quantity computer user. This simply goes to show that spending thousands, as I have done in the past, is simply not needed. This has the feel and touch as well as the practical capabilities. Sure its not the best, but the value for money is unbelieveable and customer support is fantastic. This could be for the kids, home use, student use or business. great value all round. Best on the markey at the moment by far. A****************** in every way... Read review

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 AM2 sempron3000+. 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. Buying an AM2 mainboard for your new chip will also make life much easier... Read review
