Hey there, as you may know I'm the one who is keeping his socket A running, I decided to get a new CPU for it as my Athlon 2600 has a heavily worn insulator on it, and after it's 4 years of service I think it's time it had a well deserved break.
So I found a 2600+ Sempron today whilst at a mates house and now I want to find out the differences between the two Sempron 2600s I now currently hold. I will start googling etc now but if somebody knows which is the better chip it'd be much appreciated if you could say which.
I drew up a quick MSpaint diagram of the chip information, the location of the "Assembled in Malaysia" text is different, my old Sempron having it printed with the other chipset information, and the new one having it written onto the CPU itself. Help is much appreciated, I'm now just waiting for my damn motherboard to get here so I can start it back up; hence why I'm trying to track down which is the better Sempron to use.
Edit: I know about AMD locking the multiplier on Athlons that were built after the 38th week of 2003, my Athlon is dated as the 11th week of 2004, so it's not worth trying to overclock that one instead. Maybe one of the Semprons is an non-locked chip and that is what I hope to find out. Thanks.
