I believe you may face Front Side Bus compatibility problems. Googling shows the FIC AM37 can be strapped to an FSB speed of either 100 or 133 MHz. The Sempron 2800+ has an FSB of 333 MHz.

The only Sempron's I've ever run have been with 333MHz motherboards, so I am unable to confirm this is a problem; only that it may be a possibility. AMD should be able to tell you if the CPU will negotiate and operate with the slower FSB or not.
