Advice regarding Biostar iDEQ 210V Barebones Computer

[Chris]

I am going to purchase a Biostar iDEQ 210V. I want to make sure I pick
a compatible processor.

The Biostar site says that this model supports the Socket A, AMD
Sempron 2800+ (166MHz)

I have seen the following processor on dabs.com and want to make sure
there are no 'gotchas' before I go ahead and buy it. It's listed as
'Sempron 2800+ Socket 754 256KB Inc Fan'.

Any input would be appreciated as I have only every worked with Intel
Processors.

Cheers,

Chris

Socket 754 is NOT socket A, it will NOT fit in the socket on the
BIOSTAR.
