AMD 64 Bit Sempron???

Is this for Desktops? I'm going to build my brother a very inexpensive computer but can still game For the most part. Not maxed out. But at least run on a medium state. I came across this.... Would this work in a normal Windows XP based DESKTOP???

AMD Sempron 64 2800+ 800MHz FSB Socket 754 Processor - Retail $75.50

it should work for a budget machine. If you can spend a little more, there's the AMD Athlon 64 2800+ at $124. I was looking at it for a budget machine for my cousin.

It'll work. It's not great, but hey, a 64 bit processor for 75 bucks, who's arguing with that?

Ya, I'm getting my friend the 2500 for his uber budget gaming comp. I'd stay away from the 2600 as it only has a 128mb chache, but the 2800 is a good buy.

I'm using a non 64bit sempron 3000 for this laptop and it runs stuff great. The quality difference between the athalons and the semprons isn't as bad as pentiums and celerons.
