SeekerAMD Athlon 200GE
The Athlon 200GE is a solid value, given its price point. But there are obvious trade-offs you'll have to accept after buying such an inexpensive CPU. Its biggest shortcomings are apparent in lightly-threaded workloads. Fortunately, unofficial overclocking, currently enabled on a handful of motherboards, helps improve the 200GE's benchmark results.
