<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=360065721-08032011>If you're looking
for a retail store: Corey's Computing. They currently have a Sempron and
Athlon 1640 on clearance, both socket AM2. The title in their index lists
the Athlon as AM2, but the detail page says AM3. I checked AMD's website, the
LE-1640 is actually AM2.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
