text: would i benefit going from an amd sempron 2800, to an intel pentium 4? how does a proccesser relate to speed?   it depends on what you plan on doing with the processor but i personally perfer the sempron processors over a pentium any day they will be more compatable later. in my opinion i believe that you should stay with the sempron but when a better verson comes out of the product go for it stay away form the evil pentium
