can someone please tell me whether duron compatible motherboards are also sempron compatible, cheers
That depends on the motherboard. If it’s a Socket A motherboard that supports the Barton core Athlon XP’s, then it should. However, you’re gonna want to check with the motherboard manufacturer, as you may need to flash to a newer BIOS. I’d say that most KT600 and nForce 2 motherboards should handle the Sempron just fine, but motherboards with older chipsets are iffy. Basically, the Sempron is the replacement for the Duron line.
cheers mate it has helped alot :good:
what I’ve noticed with my old sempron, you only need a BIOS update to have it be recognized as a sempron. Otherwise it just says athlon. Still boots though, I dont’ know if this applies to all motherboards just 5 I’ve tested it on.
thanks I have myself sorted now, but cheers for the advise :good:
