just got a new video card (7950 gt)

not a bad deal right there. Where'd you order from

picked it up @ tiger direct, it's right by my house so

the 3700+ won't bottleneck with it, will it?

Yes. My PC is bottlenecked by my [email protected], so yes it will!

so how did u fix it?

How did i fix what? The card is always waiting for the CPU - overclocking it helped a bit but its still the strongest thing in my system. I hope that when my new ram turns up i can get a decent overclock out of it, even though its a "Cabbage"

Because you can turn up the graphics settings (ie AA/AF) because that is all done on the GPU - no fps loss, but better quality.

3700's overclock like MAD if you get the right one - some hit 3 GHz on air (Stock - 2.2 GHz, remember!)

A 4400 is dual core, so its actually two 3-somethings strapped together - the fastest single core AMD non-fx CPU is the 4000, but a 3700 is a better bet because they overclock a LOT

If your going to overclock, then get an Opty, specifically a 165 as its dual core, and you can still get 3 GHz out of it!

It will be bottlenecked but not by much especially on high resolutions and/or graphics intensive games. There isn't much you can really do besides buy a new processor but then you might need a new motherboard/ram etc...
Even upgrading won't see much of a difference as you should be able to run every game out right now with that setup with the settings turned all the way up.

i will look in to it. do you play any games? how are your fps?

ps check my specs in my sig

pointless buyin a 4400+. OC ure CPU as far as u can. Also turn up ure graphics, so that ure graphics card takes more load until it becomes the bottleneck.
