Hey everyone, this is my first post on Tom's Hardware =) . I was thinking about buying a EVGA 9800gt akimbo edition to replace my 7800gt. I'm just worried my cpu will bottleneck the card to the point of stuttering in games etc.

System Specs:

P4 650 3.4ghz @ 4.25ghz
Asus P5WD2 Premium
2 gigs kingston hyperx ddr2 667
msi 7800gt
SB audigy 2 zs
500w PSU
19inch lcd @ 1280x1024


running winxp pro sp3

Would it be worth the purchase?

The 9800GT should work fine in your system. Your CPU will not let it go to its full potential but will still be a good upgrade.
