I'm pretty sure my low cost sempron is not a 64 bits processor :-)

They're not. At least, not yet. They are similar to the 64bit chips,
but the 64bit parts are either not there, or disabled.

Yes they are in fact I'm using one right now, and i repeat:
there are 3 Sempron:
1. Socket A, only 32bits
2. Socket 754 32 bits ( Is a normal Athlon 64 socket 64, with half cache L2
and blocked 64bits instructions.)
3. Socket 754 64bits ( Same as above but with 64bits instructions.)
Maybe is easier to called: "Sempron" and "Sempron 64".
4. Socket 939 64bits ( not realized yet, but it will be realized this year )
Maybe you should take a look here:

The Sempron code name "Palermo" is the one with 64bits instructions
available, and are for sale since July
You can see the official prize list here:

And if you still don't believe me, then take a look here:

Cool, I didn't realize AMD had started shipping them. Must have missed
that announcement. Thanks for the correction.
