My local toy store ( FRY'S) has a special this weekend for a combo AMD Athlon II X2 245 & Biostar MCP6P M2+ for $69.99 less $10 rebate .
That processor may have more power than what 80% of the Freepers out there currently have...rough estimate based on what I see in comments ...like "I have had this computer for 5 years and it still runs great"...
Now a AMD X2 245 is a pretty powerful little chip.
