Simple question, which is best the Athlon XP 1800+ or Sempron 2600+
Thanks in advance.
ANSWER: Basically, these two processors would perform about the same. However, at the same clock speed, the Athlon would run twice as fast as the Sempron.

Answer AMD processors have always had a tendency to overheat. Overclocking can cause overheating. The vintage CPU's and motherboard you are asking about were never made for overclocking to begin with. I have never overclocked anything in my life because I think it adds nothing to system performance (my opinion). If you want a faster processor, buy a faster processor - don't try to beef up one that was designed to run best at a certain speed.
