is an amd sempron 2500+ 64 bit better than pentium 3

if you are using your comp for gaming and video encoding, i recommend you to buy a better processor. amd semptron 2500+ is better than pentium 3.. but its still low end. I recommend getting atleast amd athlon 2800+ or 3000+.
nowadays you get can good amd motherboards for cheap so i recommend getting a mid-range or high end one. try any rs-480 based motherboard. msirs480m2-il is there in this month's A-list.. try that out.

sampron is better

but i recommend going for athlon64 2800+
on MSI rs480m2-il

total cost = 9k

Dont go for Sempron
Its similar to your Pentium.Infact your processor is faster than sempron.
And also dont forget that AMD sempron processors have heating issues.They may burn at any time.
If u want to upgrade your processor get pentium 4 processors.They will rock you.

Athlon should still be the choice for a Gaming Machine...

what is your problem...????

i dont think this is a mistake, i dont think u acatually believe p3 is faster, i think u made this post knowingly....
and dont know why

for gaming use amd

thanx guys get the idea...sempron/athlon will be better

Definitely Sempron is better as it has a 64bit architecture in comparison to Pentium 3 32bit architecture.
Sempron 64 bit is defnitely useful while handling multimedia or number crunching applications.
