What would be my bottleneck?
 

As the topic asks...what would be the bottleneck in my system? Or in other words, what would be the first thing you suggest I upgrade?

Firstly, here are my results in 3Dmark06:

Secondly, this score was achieved with the following specs:

Processor: 2.2 GHZ AMD Athlon 64 (aka 3600+)
Ram: 1024 MB (1 gig of ddr ram)
Video Card: HIS RADEON X800 GTO
Motherboard: Abit KN8 SLI (AMD 64, X64, and X264 compatible)

I didn't list any other specs, because these are the main players in performance as I understand them.

lewl , radeon + sli.

Radeon + Sli is a bad thing?

I'd get more RAM, especially if you game or multitask. 2GB seems to be the sweet spot right now.

Radeon vgas don't do sli, do they?

I don't have any idea. I was just wondering what was funny about it, when Lithium said "lewl"

I figured my ram needed some upgradin'. I am going to see what I can do to debo up one more gig stuck pretty soon.

(off topic) Its funny, that video card in my specs has gone down $70+ since I bought my upgrade, which was supposed to be bought when the "ff beta" was supposed to be released....back in August.

Oh, anyway, your bottleneck, the processor, doubtless.

Radeon's have the "Crossfire" feature, which is ATI's version of SLI.

I thought that Crossfire was that some Mobo's did all the filtering (AA and such)
not dual vgas :p

it was funny because he got a special board that had two pci-e slots so you could do SLI with two Nvidia cards... but he has an ATI card... can we move on now? :rolleyes:

I bought the board for upgrade-ability. At that time I couldn't afford super nice video cards, but eventually, I will get two SLi cards....once I can afford it.

Shame you didn't go with the core 2, oh well.
Your video card is just above midrange, your motherboard isn't too good for upgrade-ability though because it's a socket 939 which is being phased out but yeah the cpu is your bottleneck.

I'm appauled none of you posted something like this.

Your bottleneck may be similar to this!

Thewetmule I think your bottleneck lies in the material used, try *insert witty response here*
