You're talking about an Athlon XP (as opposed to Athlon64), which is a previous-generation CPU. While not exactly old, unless there's a
really good deal on it, be aware that they're being phased out, effective several months ago.
It will work just fine, though. It's modern enough that it won't "feel" any different from anything else on the market, but it's old enough that you may occasionally notice that it's slower than than a new P4 or A64. (Most of the time, it will "feel" identical.)
