Will a Geforce 9800GTX+ 512MB or a Geforce 9800GT 512MB bottleneck a Pentium Dual-Core E5200 2.5Ghz?I will be using 4GB ram.

dont double post

the double post was likely a forum hiccup.

Well I imagine the Pentium is more likely to bottleneck the graphics cards.

The Pentium EXXX series are pretty good though, if you overclock.

i would recommend getting amd athlon 64 x2 processors if you are on a tight budget

No the card will not bottleneck the processor, it's more likely to be the other way round.

I have a whole thread on page 2 about the E5XXX series.....

You should be pretty pleased with the speed, but not the cache....

The E5200 and the E5400 are dirt cheap and can both reach 4GHZ.....at least according to one owner I talked to many people on other forums...

If I do a second build after my TV I might use the E5200/E5400 as my "experimental chip"

 

[LoneWolf]

you mean suicide chip cause you are going to use it to do a suicide run

 

[Gameman]

That's correct mate, the E5200 and 5400 have been known to go up to 6 GHZ with enough LN2.....

But it has been said to be stable at 3-4 if you do it right.....

If I was gonna do a true suicide run, it' would be with the E8600 - can go much higher...almost 7 GHZ....

but you will need water cooling to take to 4ghz or may be a very good really good air cooling might do the trick
