Whats the best one I could get for around 70 Pounds or if anyone has one for around that money that would sell on here to me?

Either a top end C2D E6850, or possibly a Q6600 i would guess.
Easily a E6750 for about £50 to £60, the "buy it nows" on eBay for E6850s and Q6600s tend to be closer to £90, but you may have luck via bidding.
What sort of time frame are you looking at?
Sorry I forgot to mention it had to be a Core 2 Duo (motherboard limitations) saving me opening up another thread if anyone has a spare C2D with is 65nm and Is worth around 60-70 pounds I would be very greatful.
Which one did you get off Scan? I may be up for a swap if 45nm
Watfordude, your PM box is full - If you search for the exact model number of your board on MSI's website I'm sure it will come up with a list if updates - or post the number here.
watforddude, thanks for the PM but as Terbinator says your PM box is full so will reply here:
Thanks for the info! I need to do a bit of research to see if the BIOS for a Dell Vostro 400 will support it - It definitely does E8xxx but not sure about the Pentiums. I'll get back to you in an hour or so.
Thanks.
Ahem, if it's of any interest I've got an E4300 for sale at the moment...
It runs very happily at 3.2Ghz ;)
A secondhand Q6600 or Q6700 quad core would be a good upgrade but I would not overclock them on your motherboard as they have a higher TDP than an E1400.
OTH, you will need to check if your motherboard supports them.
watforddude, doesn't look like it will be compatible, and as dave87 says...
Sorry for any inconvenience.
