Any Sempron will run as i386

Some socket 754 semprons are a form of amd64 with less cache and the 64-bit 
mode disabled, but since it's designated as "AMD Sempron 64", I guess this 
isn't one of them, so it should be able to run amd64 as well. 

Some software will run quicker on amd64, but some ports don't yet work on it, 
for example wine and  the Nvidia driver (for 3d-support). 

I use i386 myself.
