Depends on the rest of your budget, what it will be used for, and if you're using your current hardware.

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3200BPBOX - Retail - $190
This would be your best bet from the info you provided.

no offense, but unless he's overclocking, i disagree. the 3400+ newcastle is a far better deal, being 400mhz faster

though it's slightly over $200, the performance increase at stock speeds is worth it.

i would assume you need a mobo and ram to go with it.

chaintech! quality for a good price

If you dont mind buying in the "for sale" section, you can come out with something sweet. I got a clawhammer 3400+ and OC'd it for like 150 or so.

I wouldn't mind that at all,I'd prefer it because it is less expensive.

then i suggest you start browing, there are quite a few good deals down there - just make sure to go about it the right way, get a telephone number, name, address, and verify that its real as well before you go sending money with only unicorns and rainbows to rely on.
