Yeah, turns out they are:

But even so, it's not like they're not still easy to get.

Yeah in my haste to post, I didn't come off to clear.  My point is they are still pretty much EVERYWHERE, and if you bought a combo with an AXP, there is no reason (yet) why you wouldn't get one.

Trenchbroom:
Does the mobo have a VIA chipset?  It used to be that until you installed their software drivers in Windows (the 4 in 1 stuff) you wouldn't be able to run the mobo at full speed. 

Things might have changed (been a few years since I had a VIA chipset) but you might check it out.

SOAPboy:
If the PC is reading Sempron, its a sempron, not a athlon.. regardless of clock speeds, itll still read the CPU as what MODEL it is.. it might pick it up as a 1600XP or something if the FSB is wrong, but itll STILL say ATHLON in windows..
