AMD Athlon, Duron and Sempron? I know that Athlon is usually a better
version than a P4, and Duron is the "better" equivilent to Intel's
Celeron. But I've never heard of the Sempron and was curious because
I'm considering a new motherboard for the owner's PC and some of the
kits talk about a Sempron.

What would you guys recommend ... is a Sempron worth it? Thanks in
advance!
