I just upgraded one of the rigs in my house from a celeron D 331 2.66ghz to a Conroe-L Celeron 430 1.8ghz. The computers performance has been MUCH MUCH better after the upgrade. i even upgraded my other sisters rig, and when she got back from vacation she noticed it was picking up alot better then before.

If a celeron 430 @ 1.8ghz (i run stock on all systems but mine, the e8400 core 2 system) is paired with a Radeon X1650 Pro, what is the bottleneck? The GPU or the CPU?

I'm tihinking GPU, but i want opinions.
