They would both be correct about the processor. &nbsp;But another note that you need to know. &nbsp; I would assume that you either have win98SE, ME, or 2000 on your current computer. &nbsp;256MB of RAM are fine with these operating systems, but your new computer will probably have XP on it. &nbsp;XP makes 256MB of RAM cough like a cat with a hair ball. &nbsp;A little more is need for the operating system to run smoother. &nbsp;

IMHO Callandor and me may have the points splitted ... It's only an idea, just to give my opinion!<br />

Thanks anyway

I currently have a Pentium 3 processor, I believe 700mhz, and am currently thinking about buying a computer with an AMD sempron 2800. &nbsp;Both computers have 256MB of RAM. &nbsp;I am trying to figure out how much worse or better the Sempron's performance will be. &nbsp;Also are there any common problems associated with the Sempron?<br />

Sempron vs P3?

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
