making for an old friend and it didnt work to make sure it wasnt the
motherboard I put in an older xp chip and it works fine so what do I do to

You might need to update the bios for the motherboard to recognize the
sempron. Note that the semprons (except tfor the top end socket 754
versions) are basically rebadged Athlon XPs. They do differ from the
lower end XPs in that they are intended to use a 166/333 MHz clock. If
your motherboard or memory can't handle this clock, you will have a
problem there.
