What is this AMD comparable to in Pentium?

Hi, I'm not very knowledgable in computers, but what is a
AMD 3100+ 1.8 ghz processor comparable to as far as a
Pentium 4?

I researched around online and get different results.

 

[Nitestick]

approximately 3.1ghz

 

[Apokalipse]

approximately 3.1ghz

add to that:
approximately a 3.1GHZ Pentium 4 (Prescott or Northwood)

 

[PZEROFGH]

like a P4 3.2Ghz during gaming

Here's a benchtest. I think the 3100 is a sempron(?) http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20041221/cpu_charts-15.html#directx_9


But as said above, in games compareable to a 3.2ghz P4 in games.

it is. there are no Athlon 64 3100's.

I've heard that the Semprons can overclock pretty well, because they run cool

Cool, thanks guys...I'll pretty much be using this computer for school work and gaming. I was deciding on whether to buy a
P4 3.0ghz or a AMD 3100+ 1.8ghz.

I don't know how to build my own desktop so I'll be buying the system and it seems like the AMD is the clear choice. It's also cheaper than the P4 I was looking into.

if you change your mind and do decide to build, we're all here to help. it is a lot cheaper to build your own. all you need is some common sense and a few facts (which we can provide). the trick is fixing it when it doesn't work like it should.

If it's a Sempron, it'll be more like a 2.8Ghz P4 in gaming..

Yea I just found out that it is a Sempron...sorry for not realizing this before
