My sister got my old system and she is now wanting a new processor for it but is not willing to upgrade the motherboard, memory etc... Confused

Now the motherboard she has at the moment is a GIGABYTE 7VT600P-RZ with a Athlon 2000+ (Socket A)

I have looked at the CPU Support List and here it is:
AMD K7 Sempron 3000+ 333 OK
AMD K7 Sempron 2800+ 333 OK
AMD K7 Sempron 2600+ 333 OK
AMD K7 Sempron 2500+ 333 OK
AMD K7 Sempron 2400+ 333 OK
AMD K7 Sempron 2300+ 333 OK
AMD K7 Sempron 2200+ 333 OK
AMD AthlonXP 3200+(Barton,.13u) 400 OK
AMD AthlonXP 3000+(Barton,.13u) 400 OK
AMD AthlonXP 3000+(Barton,.13u) 333 OK
AMD AthlonXP 2800+(Barton,.13u) 333 OK
AMD AthlonXP 2600+(Barton,.13u) 333 OK
AMD AthlonXP 2500+(Barton,.13u) 333 OK
AMD AthlonXP 2700+(Thoroughbred,.13u) 333 OK
AMD AthlonXP 2600+(Thoroughbred,.13u) 333 OK
AMD AthlonXP 2600+(Thoroughbred,.13u) 266 OK
AMD AthlonXP 2400+(Thoroughbred,.13u) 266 OK
AMD AthlonXP 2200+(Thoroughbred,.13u) 266 OK
AMD AthlonXP 2000+(Palomino,.18u) 266 OK

The bottom one is what is in it just now - She asked me to get a processor for her but my problem is none of my usual shops I use do any Socket A cpus anymore it is all the new style (AM2 etc...).

Where in the UK can I still get Socket A's from?
And what one should I get for her (Thoroughbred, Barton or Sempron)?

Thanks in advance.

tell her to change to a 939 or AM2 system.
It's cheaper than socket a.

I hate you.

Best bet is ebay

http://computers.listings.ebay.co.uk/AMD-CPUs_Athlon-XP_W0QQfromZR4QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsacatZ44935QQsocmdZListingItemList

Get one of the old mobile chips as they use less power so run cool and quiet, or good overclockers.. like this one

Bartons are the best though, thought I would answer the question.
