This is a personal Opinion...But I would never purchase a Sempron / Celeron / Duron. If Im buying a chip, Im getting a full version.
Keep in mind it will be used in my Windows Home Server, to be honest, mostly for remote desktop to my main computer for getting around the internet blocks at work during lunch break for surfing the web.  (they routinely block sites like this one).

Agreed, don't buy a Sempron - it's crap.

OK,
I did find one P4 EE 3.73 on ebay. It is in GB and the equivalent US dollar for the item is ~$105
I found quite a few AMD CPUs and mainboards that I can pair together for less than or equal to that price.
Sempron 2.8 that I've read can be unlocked for dual core
and
BioStar AM3
total cost ~$95
Has anyone had any experience with either of these items?
I've used 2 cheap Biostar motherboards so far, and they were very good. As for the Sempron, yeah it is weak, but it will work for what you want it to do.
I've used a Celeron and I had a friend who used a Sempron - they are weak, I would never buy one again, but then I use my computers for more than what you will use yours. So if there is nothing better to put in it, a Sempron should get the job done... just slower than a "full" CPU.
