Not really sure where I should post this.
Sorry guys I know it's another noob question, but I can only read and digest so much information. I have reached the saturation point and my brain is beginning to leak, so I need some input and advice.
After a "lot" or reading, I am at a place where I am close to making a decision regarding my new setup.
I am still a little confused on CPU and Ram choices.
Because I live north of the border, I am limited to what is available, so I have narrowed down the field to these:
CPU's
Sempron 2800+ (Palermo) http://www.canadacomputers.com/inde...83&PHPSESSID=036d4e4d2d177c3efa122c0d01ae624a

Mobile? A64 3200 (Clawhammer) http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=12797&promoid=0
I really don't know what to choose. Is there that much difference between these chips running stock or Oc'd.
RAM 512 Mb

I don't game, or really push my setup that hard, (I will probably want to OC for fun, but nothing radical) but I blew my fan headers on my board and that has given me an excuse to upgrade my old board and CPU. This will probably carry me for a couple of years, so I want to buy once.
BTW the rest of the setup will be
Chaintech vnf3-250 MB
SLK 948u or XP-90 HS depending on CPU (IHS/non-HS)
I am going to use the rest of my old stuff (Case, 450W PS, video card, etc)
Thanks,
Paul
