    What are my options with this system spec ?

    Need some view here. Q's: - 1. So would my system be a bottleneck if I chip in a a 6600GT ? 2. I was also looking @ an AGP 6800 series. Would the CPU be a bottleneck as well ? 3. If my CPU is indeed a bottleneck...wht's the best range of VGA card I should be looking at ? It's...

    What are my options with this system spec ?

    M2 is just around the corner...which I think is worth waiting. My current O/Ced system is equivalent to a AthlonXP 2600+. So would my system be a bottleneck if I chip in a a 6600GT ? What about X700 pro ?

    How far will I be able to OC this baby?

    Most 1.0 Ghz bird will hit @ least 1.2Ghz. Yours...depends on steppings could probably yield more. 200 Mhz it may seems...but running it @ 9.0 X 133 FSB actually yield much better performance. More if run @ 7.0 X 166 FSB.
