bottleneck

[invisik]

i was just wondering how much do u guys think a AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane 2.6GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Black Edition Processor would
bottleneck a 4850?

Depends on the game, but I will tell you that I upgraded from a S939 X2 3800+ @2.5GHz to a Core 2 Duo E6750 @3.2GHz and I couldn't tell much of a difference in Crysis. UE3 games are supposedly more CPU bound but I suspect that your Brisbane will be good enough for any UE3 game currently on the market.

I don't think it will be a bottleneck at all, especially if you play at something like 1680x1050 and enable lots of eye candy. That X2 5000+ is still a very good CPU.
