| Re: Bottlenecking? I would even recomend the E8400. but theres a cut off when OCing. i think you can only clock to a 4.2 ghz not bcause unstability but because of lack of a higher FSB because the multi is so low.

| Re: Bottlenecking? Yes if you want to see the most increase in FPS. Honestly the PD 3.4ghz i bet you doesn't bottleneck the 8500gt becuase of how weak it is compared to something even 100 bucks. How much money are you going to spend on a video card?
