What are you going to use it for? Gaming? I have a AMD Phenom quad core 940 black edition or some crap like that...and it runs at 40% capacity for games like Crysis in 3D.
Paid 160 bucks for it and am a very happy costomer.

Otheriwse your goal should be to get a CPU listed as high as possible on this list, with the least amount of money... http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

But like I said, mine is like 30th from the top on that list...and it runs the best games maxed out at less than 50% capacity. And the quad core programming is only going to get better...
