I'm putting together a PC for my parents, nothing fancy as the PC will only be used for internet browsing, MS office and maybe transferring photos/videos from cameras etc. Should I go for Sempron 3000 (1.8GHz) or Celeron (2.8Ghz)?
I've only ever used AMD myself, but I do a lot of gaming. I'm not sure which would be best to use for my parents PC as I've never used these CPU's.

Any help would be appreciated: D

I built a PC for my mum and dads with a Sempron 64 2800+. I think it's the best value cpu I've ever bought. It feels like it out peform my old P4 2.8Ghz northwood but that may be the fact it's a fresh XP install on the PC.

This is the setup I got them

AMD Sempron 64 2800+ 1.6GHz CPU and Gigabyte K8N51GMF nForce 6100 Micro, 512mb Corsair value DDR a WD 80 Harddrive. A antec case the one that comes with the 350watt PSU a DVD rom and that 15inch BenQ LCD monitor.

It all came to just under £342.

that Gigabyte K8N51GMF nForce 6100 Micro ATX motherboard it fantastic value. I think it was £45 with onboard Graphics and sound it also supports Sata2 and PCI-Express.

Sempron it is then :D
That sounds like a decent set-up, just what I'm looking for and just under budget also. Got about 350 quid to spend.
