core 2 duo

For a little extra cash, E8200 or maybe even E8400. But E7200/E7300 are probably the best budget performers and you'll save a little (assuming you live in the US)
 
eh, if i go with the e8400,e8200 i might as well go with the q6600, should I not?
Well you might do that...but thenagain, it's quad not duo ;)

AFAIK E8400 is only slightly over your budget, E8200 should get really close or be even less than $150. Q6600, AFAIK, is somewhere around $200 if I remember correctly...
