Sempron 2800+ $95 + shipping
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819104206


Performance:
Sempron 2800+ is comparable to an Intel Pentium 4 @ 2.4ghz.

Look that up for yourself to next time:

What's weird is the Sempron's have 12 IPC's vs. 9 IPC's on the Athlon XP, yet the Athlon XP performs above the Sempron.

Remember that there are K7 and K8 based Sempr0n, while an Athlon XP will be slightly faster than a Socket A Sempr0n running at the same clock (512KB L2 Barton VS 256KB L2 Thoroughbred/Thorton), a Socket 754 Sempr0n is likely to beat an Athlon XP, even with a 200MHz handicap and a quarter of the cache (128KB L2 Palermo VS 512KB L2 Barton) as you can see Here

Thats impossible X86 based machines can only do 3 instructions per clock at the very best. The only known machine that can break that limit is the Conroe which sits at 4.
