Which processor for age-old motherboard?
I've got an Abit AN7 Socket 462 (Socket A I think). I need a new processor for it but I don't know which and from where.I've currently got an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ 2.2 GHz. Processors for this motherboard should be dirt cheap shouldn't they? Maybe about £30? Would be happy if it was dual-core. I know I could just get a new motherboard but then I'll need a load of other new components so I just want this for now.

But if you want to dive in, it's loads of fun and a good learning experience for future overclocking endeavors. There are some great guides out there, like this one over at the House of Help. He gets down to business about halfway down, post #3.
Otherwise, if you want to upgrade on the cheap Spike's advice is spot on (look at the Asrock boards)
