bottleneck?

[Brognan]

I have an emachines w3507..i know its not the fastest or meant for high end gaming..but who cares right? anyhoo i want to rig up the system to play age of conan, which means id want to go with a dx 10 card, a 8800 GTS to be percise, and a 550 watt power supply

Here is a link to the computers system specs: http://www.emachines.com/support/product_support.html?cat=Desktops&subcat=W-Series&model=W3507

heres a link for the kind of motherboard: http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/d102ggc2/index.htm

heres a link for the graphics card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130038

and heres a link for the power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817101021

so my big question is: will the 8800 GTS be bottlenecked with this system? i already have vista on it and 2 gigs of ram in it

any help would be useful, and thanks in advance

no the 8800GTS will take off a lot of cpu time to other programs including games. MAYBEE you could upgrade to a Pentium D to make it run really smooth

dude, you need more ram!! like wayy more

and your processor will be a huge bottleneck

 

[lhuser]

Not only that.

You need 2GB RAM DDRII-800! 533 is too slow!

 

[dude_se]

that celeron wont do you any favours what so ever.

 

[lhuser]

Oh wow, he has a Celeron X)

Celerons are based for working unit. You should have gotten a Pentium 4, Pentium D or a Core 2 Duo.

i can upgrade the cpu, i just gotta find one that works with the machine

 

[lhuser]

Look for Socket 775. And you definately need faster and bigger RAM.

 

[Brognan]

so as long as it fits in a 775 socket it will work?

umm basically, get a pentium D. core 2 duo probably wont work with your motherboard
