Slightly Smaller Scale
I've ordered a Phenom 9750 (95W) to replace my Athlon 64 X2 5200+ (89W). So for an extra 6W I go from two 2.6GHz cores to four 2.4GHz cores.
It isn't quite as much computing power as the configs below, but it is an order of magnitude cheaper.
Update: Of course, today AMD announced three new Phenom models. Strangely, none of them are obviously better for my purposes than the one I already ordered. 140W for an extra 200MHz is a bit steep, and more than my motherboard can deliver in any case. 65W for a 2GHz quad-core isn't bad, though.
