The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

how much better? a lot?
the reason i ask, is that i bought the first one from pc world a few days ago, then had to take it back the next day cos it was knackered. they didnt have any more of that model, but gave me the second one, telling me it was just as good, if not faster than the first! it just seems a little slow to me :(

Lying bastards.

The Sempron is the cut down version of the Athlon.

Do you have it in writing?
I'd go to Head Office, complain, point out you were lied to, and that that's illegal, and get a nice shiny EVEN FASTER numbarz masheen as compensation.

And next time, don't go to sodding PC World!

I've never even heard of the Sempron before.
I figured it was newer. Learn something new everyday!!

Oh, it's newer all right. It's the new and shiny "make it crap, give it a new name, and market it as a cheaper but efficient alternative"...

Stay away from Sempron.

Oh, good one!

Didja have to come in armour, or tastefully show the Pulse Rifle hidden under your coat? :lol:

Nice job anyways. Hope the PC works out for you.
