Tks...

Reading an article @ THG. Does the Sempron 64bit 2800 support Windows 64?
From the article, it seems to indicate the 3400 supports Windows 64... ?

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.
