    The Sempron is the best budget CPU out there, period.
    Word of advice: You get what you pay for and if you really want a good PC you'd spend at least a few hundred dollars more on one. Otherwise, good luck with that crappy PC of yours; you're gonna need it.

    "And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
    For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

        I thought we were talking about budget computers? IT isn't a crappy PC the one I mentioned (includes 7200RPM hard-drive). And my PC is upper-mid range. It isn't a budget PC. It includes a 64-bit Athlon 3000, Asus K8N-E Deluxe, 768MB of Geil Golden Dragon PC3200 Ram, 2 80GB Maxtor 7200RPM HD, a GeForce FX5900 (OCed to FX5950U [500/1000MHz]).. etc.. just watch who you are talking to... my PC blows all macs out of the water and sends them eating dust.

              Can anybody say: Athlon 64 FX-55? That's like $850... for the CPU.. it is the fastest on the market.

                        My PC was nowhere near $239.. rather try $800-$1000... since I upgrade it over time it is hard to tell. So you keep dreaming!

                        I was talking about budget PCs, my computer isn't one. A budget PC sells as low as $239.

                        I'm going to bed.. good night! No sense in arguing with somebody who follows Apple like a second religion.. or a cult.

                          There you go with the same rhetoric again.

                          Is this discussion repeating itself?

                            $800-$1000 still doesn't beat $499.
