Athlon XP 2600+ 1.90 GHz 333 MHz 512 KB = $78

Sempron 2500+ 1.70 GHz 333 MHz 256 KB = $77

I think the XP would be a better deal unless he goes for the socket 754, then he might as well get an athlon 64.

Well, thank you, i was talking to him, and he said he could wait a while if he had to, and i told him he should, so i am waiting for any drop in prices before i buy the parts....haha i'm getting pretty good at building now!

I'd prefure to only order from one site so i don't forget stuff, and so shipping is cheaper
