Sempron 2600 (64bit)

[Mike UK]

Hiya all any idea what memory should be used with this processor just got it in to have a look at and its got PC2100 stuff in shouldnt it be PC2700?.

The thing barely gets into the bios also got a 220w psu which wont help it.

Got told it just needs windows installing ..Riight

Should have pc3200 for maximum 'performance', if you can call it that. Remember you need low latencies too for good performance, although on that system it won't matter much and end up costing more than the cpu for some decent ram.

What socket is it, 754?
Remember there are semprons on 4 sockets and 3 are 64bit so you should state the socket when asking questions. Plus its 32 bit when its running normal xp pro.

Socket A sempron was not 64-Bit.

Socket A sempron was not 64-Bit.

Edited.
Although actually 745 ones weren't 64 either were they?
Not that it matters, it could still be AM2 or 939 if its 64 bit.

Keeping you on your toes

You were right the first time (some 754 Semprons are 64-bit)

Aye, funnily enough i never saw a Sempron apart from in Client repairs, never used em personally.. wonder how well they sell/sold as higher spec/speed chips weren't that much more.

 

[Joe42]

I quite like semprons, very cheap, very cool and hence quiet and the one i put in a build for someone overclocked nicely and was still cool.

I would use one again if i were on a tight budget but with the A64 prices down so low its usually best to spend a little more for that.

they might be aimed at people with old athalons who want to upgrade?

The Sempron is agreat little chip for its price. It came in 2 forms, Socket A and Socket 754.

Socket A:
AMD Sempron 2200+ - SDA2200DUT3D (SDA2200BOX)
AMD Sempron 2200+ - SDC2200DUT3D (SDC2200BOX)
AMD Sempron 2300+ - SDA2300DUT3D (SDA2300BOX)
AMD Sempron 2400+ - SDA2400DUT3D (SDA2400BOX)
AMD Sempron 2400+ - SDC2400DUT3D (SDC2400BOX)
AMD Sempron 2500+ - SDA2500DUT3D (SDA2500BOX)
AMD Sempron 2600+ - SDA2600DUT3D (SDA2600BOX)
AMD Sempron 2600+ - SDC2600DUT3D (SDC2600BOX)
AMD Sempron 2800+ - SDA2800DUT3D (SDA2800BOX)
AMD Sempron 2800+ - SDC2800DUT3D (SDC2800BOX)
AMD Sempron 3000+ - SDA3000DUT4D (SDA3000BOX)

No 64-bit.

Socket 754:
AMD Sempron 64 2500+ - SDA2500AIO3BX (SDA2500BXBOX)
AMD Sempron 2600+ - SDA2600AIO2BA (SDA2600BABOX)
AMD Sempron 64 2600+ - SDA2600AIO2BO (SDA2600BOBOX)
AMD Sempron 64 2600+ - SDA2600AIO2BX (SDA2600BXBOX)
AMD Sempron 2800+ - SDA2800AIO3BA (SDA2800BABOX)
AMD Sempron 64 2800+ - SDA2800AIO3BO (SDA2800BOBOX)
AMD Sempron 3000+ - SDA3000AIP2AX
AMD Sempron 3000+ - SDA3000AIO2BA (SDA3000BABOX)
AMD Sempron 64 3000+ - SDA3000AIO2BO (SDA3000BOBOX)
AMD Sempron 64 3000+ - SDA3000AIO2BX (SDA3000BXBOX)
AMD Sempron 3100+ - SDA3100AIP3AX

AMD Sempron 3300+ - SDA3300AIO2BA (SDA3300BABOX)
AMD Sempron 64 3300+ - SDA3300AIO2BO (SDA3300BOBOX)
AMD Sempron 64 3300+ - SDA3300AIO2BX (SDA3300BXBOX)
AMD Sempron 64 3400+ - SDA3400AIO3BX (SDA3400BXBOX)

Some 64-Bits but not all.

Same really that not all 754 are 64bit. But then again not everyone wants 64bit CPUs.

Despite being advertised as budget line of AMD processors, Sempron socket A processors are simply re-branded Athlon XP processors. All Sempron socket A processors have 333 MHz (166 MHz DDR) bus speed and are manufactured on the 0.13 micron technology.

K8 Sempron CPUs are based on the same core as Athlon 64 processors, with some of processor features limited:

* Earlier Sempron microprocessors didn't support 64-bit mode.
* The processors have smaller size of L2 cache - 128 Kb or 256 KB.
* The processors have single channel memory controller and slower HyperTransport link.

There are also quite a few 939 semprons around in oem machines. And there are now AM2 ones of course.

i forgot about those lol
