kinda depends on what games you play, (whether they take advantage of more than 2 cores) and also what resolution you play at, but to be honest if there is going to be a bottleneck it wont be that big.

Yes you will be bottlenecked.
Your performance will still be higher than your current 2600XT, though.
Just means you can turn up more eye candy without lowering the frame rate :D

Your X2 will not be able to push that video card anywhere near its potential, but don't let stop you from buying it. You may later decide to upgrade your processor and then you would wish you had a better video card! It will still be quite an improvement over your old card, with room to grow.
