Hello all

Wanting to change my computer (Sempron 2600 166Mhz Core) i looked
with real attention to your overall guide, so i could get the best deal.

I have noticed something really weird about your chart:

For Doom3 1024 (my basic reference) :

Sempron 3000+ (Barton 166Mhz) : 59.30
Sempron 2500+ (Palermo 200Mhz) : 74.80

How do you explain the enormous difference ! + 26% !

Both setup are very similar, but it i can not believe the Palermo, with
a far lower rating than the Barton, manages to get 25% more FPS.

The Palermo core Sempron is essentially an A64 with a smaller cache...

The Socket 754 processors are *FAR* superior to any of the socket A processors (higher bus speeds, better cpus, better mbs), and those framerate discrepancies merely point out just how bad/distorted AMD's PR rating system is/was back in the socket A days....

The socket "A" rigs just plain... suck.... by comparison...

I couldn't have said it better myself. The difference is in the cores. I believe those charts.

Isn't the A socket like, really freakin old?

:lol: :lol: :lol: Well, yeah. But some things are harder to kill than others. AMD clung to that poor socket for way too long.
