Ones WITH an L2 cache of at least 512K.
The Duron and Celeron models of both AMD and Intel have basically no
L2 cache and take forever, comparatively, to do a workunit!
My wife just got a 2.4 Intel Celeron and it does units in around 7
hours! My AMD 2500 does then in around 3!

to run the FFTs as used by S@H then I'm sure you could design a chip to 
run in practical realtime, but that would be hard...
