Hi all.

Continuing from my last thread about File/data strogae servers...

I have decided on a certain chip that i would like, a picture of its stats can be seen in the link below

Now what i need to know is can these chip still be found/bought? As far as i can tell they are identical in specification, the only difference is that they have different OEM numbers...?

I would ask that if people know where to get to get one of these, to use my trust email address to let me know.

As far as im aware this isnt against the rules, but if it is, please edit my post as necessary, please dont ban/suspend me, been there and it sucked :(

EDIT: As far as i can see, its just a sempron mobile S754.
In All honesty i dont mind what core it is, just as long as it uses little power (~25W), and is socket 754

yep, I've seen them around. There are 25W Sempron Mobiles from 2600-3000, from what i've seen.

If you know where to get them, can you drop me an email in trust?

Cheers mate.

EDIT: Cancel that, just stumbled upon one.

They're not identical, the older Dublin core is 130nm, so won't support SSE3 (and maybe not 64bit instructions looking at the instruction set specs before the table), the Sonora is 90nm so should support SSE3 and x86-64 it should run slightly cooler aswell.

I made a mistake in the above post, what I'm talking about is the core that the two CPUs you circled use, one is a 130nm Dublin core, the other is the 90nm Sonora core, which comes in 2 flavours D0 and E6.

Neither of the ones you have chosen support x86-64 or SSE3 as the Sonora core is the older D0 version. Think it is still 90nm though, so the Sonora is the better of the two to have.

Hehe, no drama...

This si the product title of what is on sale...

"AMD Amd Mobile Sempron Processor 2800+ 1.6 Ghz 256kb L2 Cache 90nm Tray 25w Low Power" with exactly the same OEM code as what i circled in last post...

EDIT: Not too fussed about SSE3 or X86-64, as this chip will be in a file server... its the power consumption that im worried about...

^^^ On a file/data storage server? will it make that much of a difference for such simple tasks? If the system was doing something more strenuous, then I would consider it...
