a friend of mine is looking at a Compaq desktop (windows 7) with a 2.3 Ghz (i think) AMD sempron processor...the package comes with a 18" wide screen monitor and a color printer...
i haven't heard much about those processors...our old desktop, bought in 2002, has a AMD Athlon processor, and that desktop still works, but we don't use it since we got the laptops...
so, anything specially good/bad about the AMD sempron processor?
Thanks.
