Looking for a good AMD Athlon 64 x2 939 slot processor

[CodeMinion]

Can you guys give me a few suggestions for a nice processor? A Friend is building a multimedia machine and his motherboard supports on this type of processor. He wants a processor that is at least 3500+ 2.2 ghz.

Socket 939 processors are hard to get a hold of now, but eBay still has them floating about.

Athlon 64 X2 3800+
Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Athlon 64 X2 4400+

4800+ is the best you can get. But a used one will cost more than a faster, brand new, AM3 CPU.

There's the FX-60 which is faster than the 4800+, but that probably costs even more.
