What? (ima noob plz enlighten me)

It was a joke hinting to one of Linus's videos about a PC heating pizza/ keeping it warm. Sorry if i offended you in any way.

40 dollars isn't that bad of a price, but that CPU will most likely limit you depending on what you want to do with it.

What are you looking to use this for? That CPU will likely hold you back in all but the most basic of tasks.

That Sempron doesn't hold it back? It's a single-core CPU on a seriously antiquated microarchitecture- not unlike a Pentium 4.

I'd be very interested in seeing some benchmarks with this setup. In fact, I'm sure a lot of people on the forum would be. Consider starting a new thread for them- perhaps proving once and for all that $50 'Potato PCs' can still provide an adequate gaming experience.

Good idea!
