*No* stigma! Normal occurrence. I hope no flamers butt in.
If you can manage it, you could always get an am2 board, cpu with
cooler, and 2 gigs of memory for a little over $100. Throw in $30 more
for dual-core.

You can try researching this one. S939 board with PCI Express graphics
slot, found via Pricewatch.com . $40. (S939 has been out of production
for a while, so you would not expect the "pick of the litter" in terms
of motherboards at retail.)
When it comes to stores on Pricewatch, it pays to check BBB or resellerratings.com .
You can see their reputation here, and read comments posted by people. I
guess my main concern, would be whether these people could be trusted to
handle an RMA, if the board is bad. (One danger with a $40 board, is a
lot of returns "orbiting" through the retailer, such that all they carry
are leftover bad boards.)
This thread on the Asus forums, mentions the A8S-X is overclockable. At $40,
don't expect miracles. You may also want to read other reviews if you can find
them, to check to see whether the other clocks, like the PCI Express or
the SATA clock are "locked", while you're overclocking the processor.

Awesome tip! I found Clockgen 1.0.5.3, then found the PLL for the Asus
A8AE-LE (ICS 951412)
I was able to raise the bus speed to 230MHZ. (Max it would let me).
Results:
Bus 200 MHz to 229.4 MHz
CPU from 2200 MHz to 2523.4 MHz at 11x Multiplier
PCI-E from 100 MHz to 115 MHz
Not a great jump, but a good start. Im gonna keep looking to see if I
can find anything to raise it up higher.

Users who overclock their components mainly focus their efforts on
processors, video cards, motherboard chipsets, and Random Access Memory
(RAM). It is done through manipulating the CPU multiplier and the
motherboard's front side bus (FSB) speed until a maximum stable
operating frequency is reached. While the idea is simple, variation in
the electrical and physical characteristics of computing systems
complicates the process.

Look at the posting source; hardwarebanter.com . All the posts to this
Usenet newsgroup from that source have been no more than an excuse to spam
by sig. And you might consider using a real newsreader also.
