What socket type and core are you refering too with the Sempron ?

Also what SktA Athlon 2100+ Core version ?

It is also many things which make a diiferent, including the motherboard/chipset, memory, hard drives, amount of memory etcetcetc.....

Specifics your question is too airy fairy!

There are no Sempron64's made for the socket A platform, so upgrading from an Athlon XP2100+ will mean a new motherboard & possibly new RAM.

The S64 is based on newer technology, has the memory controller built into the CPU, & can take advantage of newer/better/faster motherboard chipsets. The bad thing about the 3000+ S64 is it only has 128k L2 cache. I assume you're asking about a socket 754 S64 rather than the AM2? If you don't already have the 3000+, you'd be better off getting a different model that has 256k L2 cache, or better yet, get the Athlon64 3000+ with 512k L2 at Outpost.com for $59. Look for a motherboard based on the nForce3 250 or nForce3 250Gb chipset. If you wanna get into PCI-Express video cards, get a board based on the nForce4.

The bottomline is if you get the "right" S64 & pair it up with the right motherboard, it will beat the fastest AthlonXP system.

That would mean that you don't have a motherboard either, correct? Why settle on older technology when you can jump diecrtly into a a socket 939 Athlon64 system? Have you looked at the prices of new CPUs? The Athlon64 3000+ Venice (with heatsink/fan) is just $66!

And depending on what options you need on your motherboard, you can get one for about $50 (here's a tip: stay away from boards based on SiS chipsets).

I don't know what you currently have & were hoping to reuse...you may or may not need RAM & a new power supply to go along with a new CPU & board.
