I'm going to be getting a new processor in about 4 weeks time, and I was wondering what YOU think I should get.

The main things I want is:

High speed in distributed projects, such as ClimatePredicion.net
Overall system performance

I was going to get the Athlon XP 3200+, but loads of places have ran out of stock and are removing it from there lists since AMD arn't making them any more. So I was thinking of getting the Sempron 3000+, which has a 512KB L2 cache.

What do you think? (may not be able to get the Athlon XP in the 4 weeks if loads of sites keep running out, such as Ebuyer no longer have the 3200+ retail package, only the 3000+ retail package).

Thanks again.
