Since, I had motherboard for AMD socket A at home and tried to build new computer, I decided to buy this processor. Sempron 2800+ is one of the best AMD processors for socket A. Price for this product is now very low and computer configuration with this CPU is very good for standard office work.
Needed to match an existing motherboard where the CPU was reported faulty. This device offered a 20% increase in processor speed at a reasonable price. The computer is again up and running with minimal cost and little trouble.
Great little cpu for general use. Good price. Works just right in my test rig and my spare mainboard.
works fine i have put the chip into a board that i going use as a home server i have loaded the software on and seems to be running fine i have not had time to fully test it yet but it looks ok
This is a legacy item by now, so only the lesson applies: The Sempron carried the stigma of not being quite an Athlon-XP and usefully avoided, but turned out to be a gem: - Runs cooler, so its heasink is more compact and its CPU fan isn't as noisy. - Uses PC2700 / DDR333 memory with a 166MHz FSB, so runs quite fast. The best feature by far is that this little gem accepts "high density" DIMMs, almost unusable elsewhere and more than just that; The AMD Athlon-XP / Sempron (?) spec sheet derates the memory speed to 166MHz when running 2GB of RAM. But couple this particular CPU with 2GB of DDR400 "high density" RAM and a motherboard that recognizes DDR400 and the combination runs perfectly, with the CPU at 166MHz and the (doubled data-rate) memory bus at 200MHz. So a system using this particular Sempron 2800+ CPU model somehow works better than with the faster Athlon-XP 3000+. Just goes to show that buying complex items on specification only isn't always best option.Read full review
