Well i like my athlon because thats in my main box and is faster than the sempron

but

the sempron is way better for overclocking its running 200 MHz more than it should on a standard heatsink and fan and all ive adjusted was the fsb. My athlon isnt capable of increasing 50Mhz without errors

Plus i dont tend to get so many problems with my sempron system but thats probably because I dont use it very often
