If you have a bottleneck it should be pretty small. The 6100 being a 95watt chip runs cool and has a lot of headroom, have you thought about overclocking it? I've run my 6100 at 4.0ghz (xigmatek air cooler) since the day I got it and have loved it.

As far as what the last poster mentioned, there are issues with Crossfire that AMD has finally aknowledged. They are trying to address them with a driver update due sometime this summer.

Your GPU shouldn't be bottlenecked by your CPU. However, crossfire does have some serious issues and you may not be benefiting from the crossfire configuration for specific games. Consider selling your 6850s and picking up a single 7870.
