Motherboard: CHAINTECH "S1689" ALi M1689 Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket 939 CPU -RETAIL ---http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-152-052&depa=1
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 512KB L2 Cache, Socket 939 64-bit Processor - Retail ---

Be carefull though, the 3200+ & 3000+ are 0.09 parts & most of the time the motherboard needs a BIOS update prior to installing those CPUs or you get not POST at all.
