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. Last edited by jggimi; 14th January 2009 at 02:40 AM. |

Yes, the Sempron you have should work with that mobo:

List of officially supported CPU's:
ftp://ftp.fic.com.tw/motherboard/cpu...cketa/am37.pdf (From http://www.fic.com.tw/support/motherboard/cputable.aspx) Sempron 2800+ is not mentioned, it may work nonetheless, but probably not.

It may also work, but at slower speed, this can be propably fixed by latest BIOS update of your motherboard.

Nice to head that FIC is still around
My wife and I set up the FIC European headquarters in 's-Hertogenbosch(NL) in 1990.

Thanks for the links. I've looked up a list of recommended mainboards on AMD's site and it lists the Gigabyte GA-7VM333M-RZ as compatible, it uses an identical chipset (VIA KM266) so it may work. Do you have any thoughts on voltage, will testing the configuration cause damage to the CPU? Socket-A Athlons are kind of touchy.
