I currently have a D50 but there have been some problems lately with it and am able to get something else for the price I paid which in a couple days would be the same price as the new D60 coming out.

Would the D60 be better than the D50 and how much better?

Also, I know the D50 has 5 AF points and the D60 only has 3. Will that cause much of a problem for a casual photographer?

I know the D50 was entry level years ago and the D60 is the new entry level.
