You do realize that the Sempron is the 32bit cpu for AMD now, right? I'm just assuming you made a typing error there? The 64bit AMD chips are now the FX or Athlon types.
Lee, no I didn't, this is the extract from the page I was looking at:
AMD Sempron 2800 754 64bit The AMD 64bit Sempron processor is designed to meet the evolving day-to-day needs of home and business PC users. This full-featured processor is designed to deliver affordable performance for today’s value-conscious buyers of desktop PCs.
The 64bit standard of this processor sets it apart from the rest of the Sempron range!

I wasn't sure they were even doing those still. You don't want that, spring for the full 64bit 939

Previously, when the 64 came out they dropped the Athlon name from the 32bit cpus and renamed them Sempron. It would appear they have carried that name over to the low cost 64bit chips now. Lee
