??? Yes they are in fact I'm using one right now, and i repeat: there are 3 Sempron: 1. Socket A, only 32bits 2. Socket 754 32 bits ( Is a normal Athlon 64 socket 64, with half cache L2 and blocked 64bits instructions.) 3. Socket 754 64bits ( Same as above but with 64bits instructions.) Maybe is easier to called: "Sempron" and "Sempron 64". 4. Socket 939 64bits ( not realized yet, but it will be realized this year ) Maybe you should take a look here: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_608,00.html The Sempron code name "Palermo" is the one with 64bits instructions available, and are for sale since July You can see the official prize list here: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_609,00.html And if you still don't believe me, then take a look here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=Go&DEPA=0&type=&description=sempron+64&Category=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=0&Go.y=0 -- Marcel Mourguiart
