is amd athlon xp and amd sempron have the same slot?

Some semprons are made for socket A, but the modern 64-bit, 90nm semprons are made only for socket 754. Before using a sempron on a socket A motherboard (athlon XP motherboard), you may or may not need to do a BIOS update.

you technically couldn't make them the same speed, but unless you are saying like a Intel P4 2.8ghz a Celeron at 2.8 and an AMD Athlon at 2.8, well, the Athlon will beat everything from the Intel 2.8s to about 3.77s to even 4ghz for Intel due to the difference inthe AMD cpu architecture.

amd has the 64 tech \npen has 32 tech\npentium is going to bring out 64  tech\ngamers  go for the amd  64 tech for better picture quality\nfor gaming .\ndoes it run any different\nive tryed my friends coms at lan meetings picture quality is good with amd other than that i dont see any diff\namd is i think cheeper. athalon is the better chip.\ndont get the sempron in amd /pentium dont get celeron

at least for now, chuck out any thoughts of amd\nturin 64 x 2 is just a shadow of the intel core 2 duo\n\nmind u specifically the t7x00 series & not the t5x00 \nthis i mention cause the t7x00 has an awesome 4 mb l2 cache\n\nwhereas the latest turins have 1 mb which is further divided between the 2 cores ie. 512 kb + 512 kb\n\n> the bottom line t7200 is good enuf 4 me\n2.0 ghz, 667 mhz fsb, 4 mb l2 cache\n\nthe t7400 & t7600 have faster clock speeds, but price differential on date seems unjustified to me, my personal opinion !\n\n1 gb should be enuf for u'r application with the t7200 processor\n> make sure u'r os is win xp media centre 2005, not xp-home or xp-pro !\n\ncheckout if a 12.1" screen suits u, the dell xps m1210 is a great system !\nhttp://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1210?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs\nelse lemme know & i can suitably tell ya

that comes standard witht the integrated radeon xpress 200M.  I went to the ATI/AMD website and found the driver update you are looking for here it is.\nhttp://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/integrated-xp.html\nHope this helps you.  This is the Catalyst drivers from ATI.  there are another set called Omega drivers that are actually made by some guy that work pretty well.  They are a little harder to figure out which one you need and where to find it.  WHat I have linked above should be perfect and it was last updated this past Oct 31st.

They would have to have the same socket design, but if so, then yes.\n\nWhen you are ready to buy a new system, go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net.  I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.\n\nMicrosoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January.  It’s going to make all of these “bargain” computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released.  The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever).\n\nAnyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer.  You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926.  That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.\n\nI have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding.  Those guys blow my mind.\n\nGood luck!

NO, believe me, it will overheat your laptop and cause it to start running slow. Semprons are designed for basic functions. A turion is what you want for games

sempron has a bigger cache, typically for gamers and hard core pc users.\nceleron is for office related kind of stuff.

Yes, they are very comparable.  In most in-depth reviews of processors, the Athlon X2 is compared to a P4 and they normally run pretty much neck to neck, with only a 3-5% difference between each other (the top one tends to swing back and forth).\n\nHowever, if you want to compare to a Xeon, you really need to look at the Opteron series of processor, not the Athlon.  Comparing Athlon to Xeon is like comparing an Athlon to a Celeron.  A Xeon will always beat an Athlon, and an Athlon will always beat a Celeron.\n\nMost video editing systems I have built have been AMD.  First dual processor Athlons, then Athlon 64, now most are Athlon X2 or Dual Core Opteron.  Comparing price per speed they are the best value.  And even in the cases where they fall a little behind the P4EE-Xeon, the amount is fractional.\n\nIf you can wait, later this year the Opteron will be able to use DDR2 RAM.  Considering it holds it's own with DDR, it should blow past the Xeon with DDR2.

2 different slots.... physically impossible unless the motherboard accepts both types...then, I dont think so...never tried...(I have an older motherboard that has both slot types...(rare)\ngo to Crucial for a free system scan that will tell you exactly what you need as far as speed and type.... this info is needed to shop for the appropriate RAM for your machine.....

yes they are interchangeable.. its more or less a speed rating. unless you overclock, or are going for dual channel, no problem.

They are both the same for the most part. Its the technical details that most end users really need not worry about. From what was taught in one of the classes I took ("Intro to Computer Architecture") I could infer the difference between the two in a very simple way. Consider two guys eating the same amount of ice cream from a similar bowl. One has a small spoon, the other has a slightly bigger spoon. If they both had to finish the ice cream in the same amount of time, the guy with the bigger spoon will obviously take less number of dips per second compared to the one with the smaller spoon. In the end, they get the job done just as quickly. Now, the information your computer processes here is the ice cream, the guy with the smaller spoon is Intel and AMD is the one with the bigger spoon. So, if you notice AMD processors outrun Intel processors if you compare one of each with the same clock speeds(nothing but the giga hertz or GHz tat u hear about a lot of times) which incidentally are the numbers Intel brags about to fool ignorant users. Clock speed doesnt mean as much as Intel portrays it to be. As of price, its just a marketing strategy each of them have. Typically, AMD has been cheaper and if you are looking for more performance per dollar, AMD is the way to go.

I know for a fact that AMD is much better than Intel! AMD's processors run a lot faster and cooler. A cooler running processor is important. Not only does it mean that AMD processors have a faster clock speed than comparable Intel products but AMDs also have a longer life expectancy as well. Plus AMD costs quite a bit less than their Intel counterparts. \nAMD is also ahead on the technology curve as well. They were the first company to introduce the 64-bit PC processor many months ahead of Intel’s 64-bit processor.  This is why I believe that AMD will possibly out live Intel.\nI've had both brands and nobody can even come close AMD’s speed and power! I am running a newer AMD Sempron 3000+ with 512 MB of memory and Windows 2000 Professional SP4 for my operating system and this combination works great.\nFrom now on AMD, is the only processor for me. This is just my honest opinion. And no, I do not work for or get any gratuity from AMD for saying this.

First you need to do some research into your motherboard, to find out what processors it supports.\n\nWith that, you can then choose the fastest one supported.  If you have an older motherboard, you would probably be better off changing the motherboard and the processor.\n\nYou can easily get brand new 64 bit Sempron 3000 motherboard and CPU sets for under $200.  And you can get similar prices on new Celeron CPUs and boards.  When you take into account the advances in RAM speed, SATA, PCIe, and other options it normally makes more sense to replace both CPU and board if the system is over 2 years old.

Just about everything.  But mainly games and high-end software like video editing, photo editing... anything that requires lots of horsepower.  The more cache a CPU has the more instruction it can store close (on) the CPU and it will excute everything faster.  L1 cache is the fastest and the AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (San Diego) has 64KB+64KB (128KB) of L1 cache and 1MB of L2 cache.  This varies among processors, Semprons have less and Athlons have more.  The same applies to Intel with the Pentium 4 and Pentium Ds, they have more and the Celerons have less.\n\nIt does matter.  See how slow a Sempron 3100+ is compared to a Athlon 3000+, despite the Sempron having a faster core, you will find that the Athlon 3000+ is actually and performs tasks faster than the Sempron.\n\nThis link might help you, http://www.computerworld.com/networkingtopics/networking/lanwan/story/0,10801,44333,00.html

I believe the fastest Athlon XP was the 3200+ before they started with the Athlon FX and 64.  I may be mistaken.  Depending on your motherboard, your system may not be compatible with this processor.  If you are running an Athlon XP 1800+, for example, the highest you can upgrade to is the 2200+.  After that, the chips were using different micron technology that will not work with the older socket.  The 2800+ that I have is upgradeable to 3200+, but it's not really worth it because the speed boost will be insignificant.
