I beleive the FSB on that CPU is 200 Mhz with a 13x multiplier (2.6 Ghz) (For an X2 5200+)
RAM speed would be DDR2 800 MHz (PC6400)
You might want to double check my figures, but I am pretty sure that is what you will need after 5 seconds of looking.

FSB of 200? I thought it was 1000!
But it seems like the max supported is PC2-6400 like you said... so I'm still confused. Thanks for the tips on the PSU - very helpful.

For dual core system with 1 GPU I would say any 450 / 500 w PSU will be fine as long as it is from a reputable brand (Antec Akasa etc etc) look for one that costs >£30/£40 and you should be fine.

A comparably priced Intel chip ranked lower in the benchmarks I was looking at, even lower than an AMD chip that was $30 cheaper. Dunno if this store is an anomoly, but it seems like a no brainer at the moment.
