Sempron Boards

Im building a system based on a Sempron chip. Will Socket A mobos that are rated to work for Duron/Athlon XP work for the Sempron? I realize that if the socket is the same, it should, but are there any know issues?

Thanks.

As long as the motherboard supports Socket A, you should have no problem using it with a Sempron.

you may need a BIOS update for current socket A boards to be compatable with the Sempron.
