I am considering this question as i am planning an upgrade, i think i will go with an AMD or a celeron as i don't want to pay too much.
In Australian dolars:
celeron 2ghz $100
celeron 2.5ghz $125
celeron 2.8ghz $189
pent 4 2.6ghz $289
pent 4 2.8ghz $325
pent 4 3ghz $435
AMD 2000 $104
AMD 2400 $122
AMD 2500 $139
AMD 2800 $218
AMD 3000 $318
AMD 3200 $349
AMD 3200 (64) $650
Conversions:
$100 AUD = $77 US
$125 AUD = $97 US
$150 AUD = $115 US
$175 AUD = $135 US
$200 AUD = $154 US
$300 AUD = $231 US
With prices like that i might go for a celeron 2.5 or an AMD 2500+
