I just picked up...

and
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103242
seemed like very good values...although I'm kinda out of the loop when it comes to hardware.
I also picked this up to replace a year old AGP card...

My question is...since its been almost 2 years since I built this computer, what do I need to know about dual core processors before I plug n play?

I always hit up Tomshardware.com a few months before iwant to build to research. Thier CPU charts and graphic card charts are good. They also have good reviews of hardware and recommended overclock settings.

Should have gone with this AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103194It has an unlocked multiplier, so you can easily get it up to 3.2 Ghz (6400+ standard) without raising the voltage. Good cooling is required. Iraq-Bound
