   The thing is that the Althon XPs won't support PCI Express. I'm not too miffed if the new Althon's aren't some super-duper revolution in technology...so long as they work and will support what's comming down the pipe, long live the budget processor!Besides, I think we've seen what happens when you try to out-do your product. You have to recall it due to bugs, cancel it because it's too hot or can't create a stable proto-type, or various other things.

   The Sempron is aimed at systems that use onboard video 90% of the time. They almost never have AGP slots so let's not even wonder about PCI-e.;)I'm sure they had some leftover Thoroughbreds & just decided to sell them without hurting sales from AthlonXP CPUs based on the Barton core.
