I don't live in the US, and the prices here are higher (Import duties and the like). The mobo, CPU and memory i bought cost me about $350 total. That Sempron is about $50 here, and this is talking in dollars, which you then need to convert to my currency.

That's why I'd rather not buy a second CPU i wont ever use beyond this bios flash attempt. All i need to know is if the way the mobo reacted is normal or not, and then I'll either start looking for an AM3 cpu or try to RMA the mobo asap.
