8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to overclock, runs cool, doesn't use much energy.
Cons May require a large hsf replacement, as the stock HSF is not very good.
Recommended it? Yes

byrgathright Nov 17, 2010
26 Helpfuls 27 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros The AMD Sempron 140 has dual processor cores and overclocks very well.
Cons Anemic cache size.
Recommended it? Yes

In a hurry to build my Dynamics AX development server, I ordered an AMD Sempron 140 from Amazon.com earlier this year.  The AMD 1090T x6 Black Thurban processor was on back order at this time so many people had to settle for a cost effective alternative while they waited for the stock to come...
