I like the X2 5200, 2.6 Dual core is plenty fast.

should be fine, just run with plenty of AA and the cpu won't be bottlenecked. 5200 is a pretty decent cpu anyway.

Yeah, how much you pay for it? How does it run? (I'm thinking of upgrading my 64 3800 to a dual core in the near future.

Anti-aliasing, basically it makes jaggy lines les jaggy. If you have BF2. Turn all your settings up except for AA and play Sharqi Peninsula. See those rungs on the high rise building? Not very smooth. If you enable AA, it makes some of those jagged edges smooth. However, your FPS will take a performance hit, depending on how good your system is.
