    Go for the AMD Athlon 64 X2! Look for the high clock speed.

    squall, what do you want this computer for?
    What's your budget?
    And what motherboard?
    We can't help you until you give us those details at least.

      http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010340343%201051720996&bop=And&Order=PRICE

      List of Newegg's AM2 CPUs, in ascending order of price.  Getting a dual core is highly recommended.
      Hope this helps.
