I've already lined up a good Socket A motherboard, but on the off chance I've burned out my CPU that means I've got to buy a new one. Long story short, my question is this.
Which choice would be better, a 50 dollar Socket A motherboard and a 50 dollar Duron, or a 50 dollar Sempron and a 50 dollar Socket 754 motherboard?
If I get the Applebred it'll be a good overclocker and I can potentially unlock the extra cache, but that's an unsure thing. However I've got a good Nforce 2 motherboard lined up for 50 bucks.
On the other hand, the equally priced Sempron will probably be the better CPU, but I've got no clue if there are any good 754 motherboards with AGP/PCI locks at all, let alone ones for 50 dollars.
Any information would be apreciated.
