    want to add new cruncher, which cpu ? :)

    hi

    right now i was sitting in my bathtub thinking about a new crunching rig for me

    but i dunno which cpu i should take.
    my 2nd chruncher has a celeron 2,4ghz (stock) putting out ~53cands/day.

    limit is 70€ for the cpu.
    i was thinking about the

    AMD Sempron® S462 2500+ (1.75GHz) (Boxed) Socket-462(A) 68,90

    does anyone know how that cpu performs ?
    celeron 2,4 costs the same.

    thanks in advance

    From what I can understand about the benchies is that raw mghz is king...
    good luck

    sempron is going to crush that celeron.

    does that board offer overclocking? U have to find one that allows for good overclocking. BTW, that will probably be a good cruncher.
