General low end mobo and chip combo?

[Ilikepiedoyou]

I recently connected some old computers of mine to aid in render time, and have seen some benefits. However, I would like more. I have two questions, what is a good cost/performance range for a chip and mobo combo if I were to buy a couple of them? And is there any place that sells a mobo with integrated network and video card functions bundled with a processor for around $100?

Newgg.

How about one of these:

Combined with

Recommend you pick a mobo that looks good to you first, then choose CPU that fits in with your $100 goal after that...but that's just me....

do what you can to get a brisbane x2 3600. there's a combo deal on newegg for it with some ecs board that has int. video for like $93 right now, but if you can swing it do what you can to get a board that overclocks decently, and you should be able to take that chip to at least the high 2ghz range.

What do you mean by swing it? Thanks for the advice btw
