Was the proc oem? If it was then it's very reasonable to assume they could have sent you the wrong proc.

Ive gotten that too, bought a sempy socket 754 non A64, turned out to be a A64. So yes theres a possiblity it is a A64.

I forgot what program I had to use to determine it, I used something other than CPU-Z.

How much cache is it showing as?

the sempron uses less than the non-sempron due to the inability of the die to support the cache on a portion of the die.

It sounds like the BIOS/Windows is just detecting the processor incorrectly.

Well, there are Socket A Semprons as well as Socket 754 Semprons. My guess is the Socket 754 Semprons...... well it's kinda obvious.
