Default Sempron vs P4

I built a computer for a neighbor a while back, but he had some rocky
times and ended up having to move; so I got stuck with the computer. It's
a basic system built on a Sempron 3000+ AM2 & ECS Geforce 6100S MB.

I have a four year old machine, P4 2.53 Ghz Dell system and I'm really
ready for a new machine. How does the Sempron 3000+ compare powerwise to
the 2.53Ghz P4? Debating whether I should keep the Sempron and use it. I
could always upgrade the processor down the road.

The Sempron machine is a socket AM2 so you could easily drop in an X2.
Drop in an X2 6000+ and you'll have a significant upgrade.

Just looking over some benchmarks, even a 4000+ X2 would be pretty
significant.
