Will an 8800 GTX bottleneck my CPU?

I have a 500W PSU
Asrock 4CoreDual VSTA
e6300 (will overclock to 2.1 GHZ)
1 gig Corsair XMS2 DDR2675



Besides the fact my motherboard only supports PCIEx4, how much of a bottleneck will my system be to the GTX?

Which GPU will my computer use fully?

Yeah. Thanks.

Hopefully, they'll come out with support before the prices start dropping.

Bad news pci-ex4 starts to bottleneck at a 7800gtx/1800xt.
Theres a review somewhere on Anandtech where a 6800ultra on 8xagp was beggining to pull away from a 6800ultra at pci-e 4x
