Re: Advice on Athlon 64 upgrade to replace Sempron 64

Wow, nice link Joe!  I see I've got some reading to do. ;-)

I didn't find ADA3300AEP3AR, but I did find ADA3300AEP3AX; the difference in
the last character.  Don't know if that has any meaningful significance.
Tis interesting that it is the only CPU in this list that has 256KB of L2
cache.

A *general* question of wikipedia:  Does anyone care to estimate the
accuracy of information presented in wikipedia?  Is there a vetting process
for verifying information?  My take has been to use wikipedia as a starting
point and let other "verifiable" sources of information (hopefully linked to
in the wiki) prove the accuracy.
