How much will my system be holding back this graphics card?

I just ordered one of the 6800's from this threadI am using a p4 3.06B with HT and 1024 megs of RAMBUS. How much is my system going to be holding back the video card?

I have a BFG 5900 vanilla right now and since I just got a dell 2001fp ( awesome LCD btw!! Not a single dead pixel on mine. ) I run at 1600x1200 native and of course thats a pretty big streach for any video card. So I just could not pass up the crazy deal for that 6800!

You link doesn't work for me, but "held back" is a relative term. I'd say your system is a fine match for any 6800 card.

Ditto. 3 Ghz with HT (albeit 533 fsb). Not the fastest out there, but very respectable. Probably similar speed to an overclocked Athlon XP mobile.

Enjoy the card and gl on unlocking the pipes!
