Buyer beware! > Explain this one to me... AMD never made a Socket A Sempron 3300+. There's a (technically, 3 steppings) Socket 754 Sempron 3300+ with 128KB L2 cache (not 256KB as claimed) running at 2GHz and a Socket A Sempron 3000+ with 512KB L2 cache running at 2GHz, but no Socket A Sempron 3300+ at all.
http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desktop/Default.aspx So, since it's a kit, I'm assuming it's an assemble-it-yourself deal. Which is more likely--that you'll get stuff that fits together or get the model numbers they specified--which shouldn't fit together. I really don't care if it's a 3300+ or 3000+, as long as it fits together.
