Seriously, bin atoms, bit celerons and bin neos. The lowest acceptable performing cpu is the "almost" core 2 duo, known as pentium dual core, which is something between a core duo and a core 2 duo. The good thing about it is that it's usually paired with at least an intel gm45/pm45 chipset. Single cores? I would only buy high clocked dual core, or a medium clocked quad core at least. There are good cpus at good prices, and as Jeremy showed, a 50$ discount usually isn't worth the processing power you lose. Being cheap with the cpu is never a good idea.
