can anybody guide me here? I'm planning to jump to 754 platform and dunno which mobo to buy. As far as i know, you will onli see sempron64 advantages after overclocking. on stock speed, it's on par or only slightly better than barton on socket A ( correct me if i'm wrong here ).
I need to know b4 purchase;
which mobo should i buy for oc'ing 2800 sempey?
any particular sempey stepping need to watch?
Thanx in advance...
Well, u must at least know what's ur target hehe. Don't tell us u want 3Ghz lar.

Then, u need PCI-E or AGP mobo?
Stepping......I think the only one I can confirm is 0528UPMW. I have seen 3 CPUs with this stepping (including Cyclone87's), all hitting high frequency. But I doubt u can find it now....most Semprons now are Assembled in China and starts with 0539+. Btw, Assembled in China doesn't mean it's not good.

I've seen most S754 Venice hitting 3Ghz+ are assembled in China.
