Hey guys, I already have a Sempron 2800+ @ 2.4GHz on a DFI NF3 and need to upgrade (rather replace) my other computer who is on its way out.
My question is, should I get a Sempron 3100+ ($106ish) or a Sempron 2800+ ($76ish) for overclocking? I'll be pairing this one up with another DFI NF3 board so hitting 300HTT shouldn't be a problem. Do both CPUs share the same overclocking ceiling or will the Sempron 3100+ have a greater likelihood of a higher overclock? Or does would the 3100+ take less voltage to get there?
I'm trying to figure out if I can avoid getting the same chip again, but if there is an advantage to the Sempron 3100+, I'll take it. Or is there a better CPU to get at around $100 bucks?
