Does anyone know if the Sempron 64bit skt754 2800 supports Windows 98SE?

It should depend on the motherboard. If the motherboard lists 98SE.
(Nowadays they often won't support the pre-SE 98.)

Yes, it will support W98, or 95, or OS/2, or Linux, or any other x86 OS,
even DOS.

YES. It should. The newer 64bit Semprons are supposed to be based on
the x86-64 spec, which means it's the x86-32 architecture expanded to
64bit. It even incorporates the SSE and SSE2 instructions as a part
of 3D-NOW! if that's important to you.

Given the age of 95/98/98SE/ME, it probably won't correctly identify
the CPU by name, but it will work as you don't need a driver for the
CPU. The big question is whether you'll be able to get hold of a full
set of win9x drivers for the integrated hardware on whatever
motherboard you choose to mount it on.
