There is no Athlon 64 motherboard that costs 250USD, not sure about Canadian prices if that's what you're asking though.

$250 wont do for a A64 3200 and a good mobo.

Maybe a 2800+ and a DFI Lanparty UT

hehe missread that

But yeah, the 3200 by itself costs $200 and a $50 mobo is gonna be a bag of snot. DFI board is about $130 so...2800 might even be pushing it, gonna have to change motherboard or expand your budget, but most Athlon 64 boards that are wroth getting costs more than $100 anyway.

Its a little more than you request but worth it. Really its the cheapest you can get unless you go with a lesser processor.

Wow they really dropped the price of that DFI board

Socket939 isn't the budget way to do things lol

I might consider to actually get something like that.

Should i buy a used AMD Athlon 64 3200+ from Ebay or something?

The last thing you want is a used cpu... You never know what it's been through, and they're vert sensitive to abuse.
