Obviously the the faster/better processor you have, the better it will run a video card, but you really shouldn't have an issue. Look into OCing your Q6600 if you are concerned. Honestly any card you stick in any system will bottleneck, It's un avoidable in a compuer. That's why you have different memory caches, each level is slower than the next and is a bottleneck. If something isn't available in L1 cache it does to L2, then L3, then RAM, then HD. Each level is slower than the next creating a bottleneck.

Get an i7 and x58 chipset, that will run a gtx 285 much better, but that really isn't in the cards is it? I'm just saying you will never avoid a bottleneck.

Just pick any, i tested my card with my cpu clocked at 2.4 and it still showed gains from crossfire in far cry 2 so don't worry too much although look around for user reviews and professionals.

I wouldn't take my word for it.
