Three Budget CPUs Tested

Posted by timothy on from the cheaper-than-saffron dept.

Steve writes "HEXUS.net are taking a look at three 'value' CPUs. The Sempron 2800+ and 3100+ from AMD (Socket A and Socket 754 respectively.) The price range of the three is fairly broad, the 3100+ coming out on top, also costing the most. Also, for those of you who enjoy cheap thrills, some overclocking has been thrown in, too." (The third chip reviewed is the Celeron D.)

    • Marc Andreessen made 100s of millions of dollars shortly after graduating from UIUC. Today's graduates of the same university face moving back in with their parents. "Fuck that, I got mine!"
    • Brian Behlendorf decided he'd rather go to India to recruit software engineers than help out the graduating classes of 2001-2004 here in the US.
    • Robert Malda stood idly by and said NOTHING while his company offshored its flagship product.

    Miguel de Icaza, Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, and Linus Torvalds all got rich off the Open Source Movement. What do you have to look forward to? OSDN == Offshore Software Development NOW!!! Read how OSDN is helping to offshore American High-Tech to the Third World!

      I agree. It's fucking disgusting. This is not about quality, its entirely about getting the job done as cheap as possible, and if betraying their own country is a side-effect, then so be it.

      Here's another example:

    That is close to the cleverest thing I have seen on Slashdot. Too bad it will fly over the mods heads.

    I don't think a typical Joe knows how to stumble onto Slashdot, let alone know how to post a reply and make a statement that is the exact opposite of what is true.
