E2140
DFI P965 Dark
2x 1gb Mushkin Value Enhanced DDR667
1950gt 512mb
OCA Powerstream 520w

i overclocked it to 2.6ghz and did it with the help of bryanyeo on memory tweakings

Is my processor Athlon XP 3000+ bottleneck my GPU 7600GS Sonic DDR3? Err…just want to know.. Is my processor Athlon XP 3000+ bottleneck my GPU 7600GS Sonic DDR3?

The game i was playing is Need For Speed Carbon. as i was playing that game everything runs smoothly, but sometimes when comes to certain parts of the game, some of the graphics may disappear. i think the GPU is producing enough speed, but the processor cant process it so some graphics are left empty. that happens the most when i was playing GTA San Andreas, the game turns out really like a piece if sh**. well, there are holes everywhere. graphics failed to produce and the game crash lots of time. but when i chnage my graphic card back to GeForce 2 mx 32MB, all problems settles. although i cant play carbon any more and my GTA San Andreas become more laggy. hmm…

It worked alright but I think it's at nearly maximum usage. A little overclocking and the thing powers down when on load. It might stand, I just can't guarantee. :) I'll be crossfiring my rig soon with the same PSU as yours. i don’t know what resolution you play games at but I’m sure it’s bottlenecking.

This is my rig, Amd FX-60 (939) 512mb 8800gt 2gb ram coolermaster realpower 450W psu. The question is, i dun think my cpu is bottlenecking the gpu, but lets say if i want to SLI. what do you think?? is it worth it???do u think my psu can tahan?? thanks Hey bro. This is my rig,
