    Processor bottleneck?

    I currently have a AMD 3400+ with FSB of 800 on a mainboard with 1000 FSB. Would upgrading to a 3700+ "San Diego" with a FSB 0f 1000 help much. My Specs are:

    2 gb of Corsair RAM, timings 2-3-3-6.

    7800 GTX Video card (EVGA)

    80 gb Western Digital IDE w/8mb buffer,

    Antec 550 watt PSU.

    Chaintech Nforce 4 ultra mainboard. FSB 1000.

    Is my processor to slow for the GXT. Im currently experiencing 60-70 FPS on battlfield 2 with highest settings and 4X AA. Would the extra 200 MHZ FSB help much with bottlenecking? Thanks for any input.

      It's not worth the upgrade cost no.

        If you're going from a 3400+ to a 3700+, don't bother unless you're upping to a x2 3800+.

          The 3800+ X2 wouldn't be worth it Jay, my 3700+ Sandy performs better for gaming, and I can OC it to an FX-55 or higher (haven't tried).
