I'm doing a school project and I need to meet a few requirements for my entry. So, what is a good CPU that is 200 US Dollars or less (preferably under 100 if possible)? I know a few myself, but, I already know Facepunch has much better techies than six Indian households together (come-on, it's a joke?).
Depends on what your motherboard is

and why did you feel the need to point out "XP compatible". Unless it's a very old CPU, you shouldn't be worried about that.
I would say pick up either a cheap Wolfdale or a Regor, they're both ~$60

I'm a goddamn C++ guru, other than that I know nothing of computers, especially hardware. I feel ashamed.
Tualatin Pentium III 1.4ghz.
That'll get you going.
You need a motherboard before a CPU. You also need RAM. If you want a cheap machine, you can get on ebay and pick up an old Athlon XP or Pentium 4 machine for cheap.

You need a motherboard that is compatible with your CPU (Intel or AMD w/ socket type), there are two types under $100 that I listed.
We are gonna need your current pc or motherboard model.
get a pentium 3. the pentium 3 processor is ideal for high performance applied computing. it supports highend communications, transaction terminal, and industrial automation applications. while incorporating new features and improvements, the pentium 3 processor remains software compatible with previous members of the intel microprocessor family.
the pentium 3 processor is validated with multiple chipsets for maximum flexibility and scalability. combined with the intel 840 chipset, the pentium III processor provides high performance and bandwidth including dual processing and a second PCI bus. The 815, 815E, 810 and 440BX chipsets provide a scalable platform supporting a wide selection of celeron and pentium 3 processors ranging from 66 to 133 MHz processor side bus speeds. the 440BX AGPset supports ECC for the highest data integrity and ISA for legacy I/O. the intel 815, 815E and 810 chipsets utilize intel graphics technology, an integrated graphics platform which provides more stability, higher quality graphics and a reduced OEM bill of materials cost.

This blows my mind! :pcgaming:
And to think I just wasted all this money on these new pentium 4's... :jerkbag:
I normally go on craigslist and find something. Hell I picked up a mac air pro for $150 on craigslist before. I assumed it was stolen, so i strapped it up with fireworks..
But I've seen P4s, P3s, hell I even saw a Pentium Pros there for great prices.

The Pentium 4 didn't match a PIII-S 1400 in performance until it reached a clock speed of 1700 MHz, and even then the results were mixed. My dual PIII-S 1400 can even match a P4 3.0 in some performance tests with threaded applications.
