Hi,
My HTPC seems a bit sluggish and looking into getting a new CPU. The motherboard is the Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H AMD 690G Socket AM2.
Looking at Gigabytes site it does support AM2+ and AM3:

Currently I have the:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ (2.1GHz) Socket AM2 Energy Efficient L2 1MB (2x512KB) Cache Retail Boxed Processor
I don't want to spend loads so what is a decent low powered CPU I should go for ? Open to most suggestions, just want to get it all ready for my Windows 7 reinstall
