Thanks. Can anyone else comment on the following points?:
The 754 Sempron:
- Will run in FreeBSD 4.11 i386?
- Will not be faster than Sempron socket A?
Thanks

I think you forgot to cc this message to
freebsd-questions. Anyways, to further
comment on these issues:
Sempron cores are identical in Socket A and
Socket 754 versions. Both support only 32-bit
instruction sets (i686 in terms of CPUTYPE
and i386 in terms of MACHINE). Any x86 OS
will run on Sempron/754 smoothly. Personally,
I think it's a much better choice than Celeron D.
Sempron/754 might be a little faster than
it's Socket A version - but that's _only_
because of the chipsets for Socket 754 are
more advanced than Socket A ones. I would
generally recommend using Sempron/754, as
you could upgrade to Athlon 64 later and
FreeBSD/x64 then. On the other hand, s754
will be deprecated in a few years in favour
of s939.
Best wishes,
Andrew P.
