How Big is the Gap

[theguy39]

Hey I have a Question I would love for someone to answer ....how big of a difference is there between the sempron 2800+ 1.8ghz 800fsb to the sempron 2600+ 1.83ghz 333fsb ...sicne hte main difference of course is the FSB only. So pretty much would I c a huge difference if I went with the 2600 over the 2800 or would they be pretty close!

The 2800+ will be a lot faster. That one (btw - it runs at 1.6ghz according to the chart <A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20041221/images/cpu_table_amd_big.gif" target="_new">here</A>) is a socket 754 part, which is a 64-bit disabled version of the Athlon 64 (and less cache). The 2600+ is a socket A part, and is a slower performer because it doesn't have the ODMC.
