On Newegg theres a nice little Athlon XP 3200 for $140 that would
be decent for a basic computer.

Waste of money.. Socket A is dead. If one wanted to spend that much on a
cpu, an A64 would be a much better choice. The best bang for the buck is
probably the 2800+ A64 right now for about $110. It'll oveclock above
2500MHz which would give it about a 4000+ rating. If one had or wanted to
stick with socket A, the XP-M would be a much smarter choice. Since it has
an unlocked multiplier, you can clock it up to 2400MHz even on an old
socket A board with only a 100MHz FSB. Newegg has the 2400+XP-M for $76.
