Getting new card soon, CPU Limited? Driver problem?

[Actaeon]

Well, I'm getting my Ti200 tomarrow, and I'm just curious, am I CPU limited?

I plan on overclocking as high as it can go, hopefully near Ti500 speeds...

My CPU-
Athlon 1.13 @ 1.2 (8.5x141)
Abit KT7A v1.3 - Latest Bios/Latest 4 in 1 Drivers
MSi Geforce 3 Ti200 @ Near Ti500 Speeds - Using 29.80/Drivers from the CD
512MB Generic PC133 SDR

Do you think I will be bottlenecked by my CPU? If So, What can I do to make up for this unused power? Aniscropic (my spelling sucks) Filtering? Anti Aliasing?

Also, Should I use the drivers from my CD, Nvidia Reference drivers (if so, which?), or drivers from MSi's website (whole list of em, from 16.42 - 28.90)? But, I noticed on the MSi Driver Webpage, the latest drivers, the 28.90's, are not recommended for VIA KT133 Chipsets, yet my Abit KT7A runs on a VIA KT133A Chipset... should I not use that driver?

I hear the MSi drivers comes with a pretty neato overclocking and tweaking utility. Should I use it instead of RivaTuner, or Powerstrip?

As for my AGP Aperture, how should I set it? I hear 128mb is good for my ammount of Ram/Video Ram.

Thanks!

1 - You won't be cpu bottlenecked as long as you play at a medium or high resolution with effects turned on. Of course it depends on the game. But don't worry about having to add aniso or AA or anything; you'll still want to play most games at less than 16x12x32xHQ.

2 - I can't help you with driver info. If you had a GF4 I would say definitely use 29.xx, even if it meant reference. Not sure what's good for the GF3. Don't know about the MSI tweak tool either.

3 - 128MB aperture sounds good for your system.

Ah, thank you. I plan on playing around 1024x768 and 1280x1024, with all the nice high details on.
