Huge Processor Video Bottleneck?

Half-Life 2 will be somewhat playable with the settings turned down. I'd really recommend finding a cheap used PC with an AGP slot that you can transplant that 7800 into though. You could probably find an AXP/P4 in the mid 2ghz/2500+ range w/512MB or more for $100ish, barebones. Just add your drives/video card to it.

yes, it would be a huge bottle neck and probably not playable since HL2 is a very cpu-Dependant game

I guess you'd be able to play whaterver you were playing with the 6800 Ultra. But yes, it will be horribly bottlenecked by your CPU and memory.

 

[lyssword]

you'll be using at most 1/2 of card's potential

yep, that P4 is going to hold back the 7800GS quite a bit.

Oh my, this isn't the standard question I was expecting. In this particular instance, yes, you will have a bottleneck. You could always pick up a processor/MB off of ebay cheap, or FS/FT.
