Hi,

I want to install OBSD on a system with a AMD Sempron 3400+ CPU.
Checking the hardware list, I don't see Sempron listed. Any advise?

Thanks

Huub

I think it should be ok. A local electronics chain regularly sells
Sempron computers pre-loaded with Linspire Linux. That's usually a
good sign. But, find out what the m/b and chipset are. One place
around here....

....is selling Jetway m/b's with Semprons. I googled for some Jetway
reviews and they weren't encouraging. I don't know what's in the
Linspire boxes.

Semprons are basically relabeled athlons (the 32bit version).

The newer crop of Semprons are Athon64 chips without as much cache and fsb.

how they fair.

Some confirmation.....

I just set up 4 boxes with semprons (all E6 rev) running amd64 version
of OpenBSD 3.8.

2 x 2800+
2 x 2500+

had to upgrade the BIOS on the asus k8v-x boards to get the 2500+
identified properly. The 2800's just worked on a gigabyte
k8mn80080mnnmn800 (or whatever the bloody thing is called !)

all four of them are working beautifully.

No cool'n quiet but very nice nonetheless.
