WTB: Socket A processor

[Raven 10+ year member]

Fixing up a relative's PC, and his 950MHZ AMD Athlon (non XP) isn't cutting it. Not looking for a powerhouse processor, just something powerful enough to handle mouse clicking and DVD playback at the same time. Maybe 1.5 to 2 ghz? Matching heatsink and fan appreciated, but not necessary.

PM me with price if you have one you want to sell. Thanks!

i think james is correct...the mainboard might not be suitable for a 200 Mhz fsb chip

The motherboard I bought was designed for 100/133/166/200mhz FSB processors through jumper tabs. It will handle just about any socket A processor you can throw at it. I bought it because it not only supported the current processor, but because I could upgrade later on.

I bought the motherboard through newegg, and I'm trying to keep the repair tab on this machine under $100, so I'd rather get a used processor.
