Hmm, I run the amd64 version of FreeBSD on mine, but here's what it
says:
CPU: AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+ (1603.65-MHz K8-class CPU)
  Origin = "AuthenticAMD"  Id = 0x20fc2  Stepping = 2

Features=0x78bfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2>
  Features2=0x1<SSE3>
  AMD Features=0xe2500800<SYSCALL,NX,MMX+,FFXSR,LM,3DNow+,3DNow>
  AMD Features2=0x1<LAHF>

If that helps :)
