Is the AMD Barton Discontiued?
I am trying to purchase a 2800 Barton 333 AMD CPU. I know I can get it
from newegg, etc. But I found a local place that had it for the same as newegg and called them. They said the items was not in stock and was being discontinued (it was MicroCenter, if it matters or you know the store.) I had read in some reviews that Sempron was the "low end" or the Celerons competition. I also read that Barton was going to be phased out...it was an article July '04. My question is: Should I not get the Barton? What should I get instead of the Barton? From what I saw, the Sempron was not as good, nor do I know if it will fit my motherboard. Thank you for comments. |

if its anything like the athlonxp range then yes they have been discontiued
and replaced with the amd sempron- simialar processors to the athlons, although a little lower grade and generally lower FSB's for less heat. FingAZ. wrote in message oups.com...

Semprons have 256k L2 cache as opposed to 512k. Not a big deal though. If
you want the Barton, get it while you can. wrote in message oups.com... I am trying to purchase a 2800 Barton 333 AMD CPU.

Is there any advantage to NOT getting the XP Barton? Besides, maybe,
price. I mean "technical" advantage. |

What advantage would that be if I don't have any 64 bit software and
the price point is so high? |
