ive been looking at getting an xp mobile but was recommend to look at a socket a sempron......what yall recommend???


thanks in advance
 
An xp mobile is definitely the best cpu you can get if you're overclocking. If you're not overclocking, then a 3200+ barton is the best you can do.
 
mobile 2500's are really solid chips, i had mine running @ 2.5ghz on air. Believe the mobile 2600's are known to OC better.
 
IMHO mobilexp 2500's and 2600's are the best socket A overclockers bar nun.
 
got my 2500 over 2.7 on air.
barton's have larger l2 cache than semprons, i believe.
