One of these would be best, but probably not worth the upgrade:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ 3200MHz 1MBx2 Windsor 90nm F3 125W 2000 F6
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3000MHz 1MBx2 Windsor 90nm F3 89W 2000 F6
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3000MHz 1MBx2 Windsor 90nm F3 125W 2000 F3
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 2900MHz 512KBx2 Brisbane 65nm G2 89W 2000 F7I
