Long Answer: Well, DayZ is an incredibly laggy game to do the heavy modding it has gone through, so truthfully, a Dual-Core 2.00 GHz processor is not going to cut it. Here are the system requirements for DayZ:
Minimum:
OS: Windows XP or Windows Vista
Processor: Intel Core 2.4 GHz or AMD Dual-Core Athlon 2.5 GHz
Memory: 1GB
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 8600GT or ATI Radeon 3650 or faster with Shader Model 3 and 512 MB VRAM
DirectX®: DirectX 9.0c
Hard Drive: 10 GB free space
Recommended:
OS: Windows 7
Processor: Intel Core i5 or AMD Athlon Phenom X4 or faster
Memory: 2GB
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 or ATI Radeon HD 5770 or faster with Shader Model 3 and 896 MB VRAM
DirectX®: DirectX 9.0c
Hard Drive: 20 GB free space
Notice that the minimum requirements for AMD CPUs are 2.5 GHz. Even with that you'd have trouble playing, so it is advisable to have a Quad-Core Processor is suitable for demanding games, such as DayZ.
Take it from my experience, I had a 2.40 GHz Dual-Core Intel CPU. Even with low graphics, the game ran awful. After I got a Quad-Core (I still had to upgrade my graphics), the game ran fine on the lowest settings. You might want to buy this:

I don't know much about AMD, but from what I can tell, it is a Quad-Core, 3.0 GHz CPU. Just make sure your motherboard is compatible and you have a good enough PSU. Have fun!
