The Sempron and the Athon XP have the same core.  However, at the same clock
speed, the Sempron is about 5 percent slower because the XP has an L2 cache
twice as big as the Sempron.  Otherwise, they are basically the same for chess
purposes.  I would advise getting the Athlon XP if you were only looking at
those two.
