My church had three Compaq Presarios with Sempron 3000+ CPUs and too little memory. The choice was to spend some time and upgrade in place or buy new machines. The upgrade in place had the overwhelming advantage of not having to reinstall any software. The price/performance sweet-spot was the AMD Athlon 64 3200+. This model has 1MB cache which is unavailable in any other compatible (Clawhammer or Newcastle) 2000 MHz chip. The 3400+ & 3700+ are generally found at a price of multiples (3 to 6) times more expensive. This is unreasonable on equipment of this vintage. With the maximum 2GB of RAM also installed, I hope to have extended the effective life of these machines for a few years. Bottom line, it's a CPU. It's near the max for my application, cheaper and easier than new machines and it works. What's not to love.Read full review
I bought the CPU as a budget upgrade for my old computer. For the price I got it for the cpu was a great bargain. Did My research and decided to go with the "AR" model instead of the "AP" because the "AR" model comes with a 1 MB L2 cache which adds more to the preformance and the "AP" one was 756KB I believe. The Sempron 3300 was 128KB so it pretty much doubled my computer speed from a Sempron 3300 model CPU, overall.
I purchased this processor to fix a computer for a friend and i was quite impressed with the speed in comparison to the last one. I also had a good experience with the seller.
the processor was bad, maybe damaged during removal from old system. It didn't work, but then buying used processors is risky.
