I've got a 250g h/d, a 128mb Radeon AGP vid card, and an extra 512 DDR ram. You think it would be worth it to buy this? I'm currently only running a 900mhz Athlon... :( I'm not into overclocking or any of that stuff, I just want to upgrade soon, and man, this looks like a good deal.

Semprons are nice processors, i doubt its the 64bit version of the processor but there still great budget processors. Thats a SSF you might want to buy it if anything for an HTPC or maybe a LanParty box. Im thinking of picking one up just to mess around with. Its not a bad deal if your upgrading from an older machine like that and dont plan on putting a heavy workload on it.

yeah I don't really put heavy workloads on anything. The most workload I put on the processor is Azureus downloading thirty'ish things. I can run World of Warcraft with the 900mhz I have now, the video card helps keep it going, but its a tiny bit sluggish at times. I'd like to upgrade, but I don't get on the PC at home enough for a full blown upgrade. I think I might actually buy this thing soon, thanks for the link.
