Why would you want an AGP slot?
Get the Sempron, and one of the 6100 NForce motherboards...they come with onboard GeForce 6100 and sell for ~$60...and they will let you add a more powerful PCIe video card later when you can afford it.

First welcome to the forums!
Get the Sempron,it performs better in games.

Sempron all the way, especially with an Nforce3 board, easily can get to 2.2ghz on stock cooling.

Sempron 2500+ (AXP core) is more or less on par with the 2.4 Celeron (if it has 256K L2 cache).

Get Sempron 64 and you will be a happy forever.

Get a socket 754 Sempron. Do not get a socket A (462) Sempron.

It's quite likely that it is the K8 based Sempron 2500+ he is talking about, since the old Socket A 2500+ is pretty hard to find these days.

Semprom 64 are great, OC as hell and are pretty cool...celerons have nothing to do.
