Im running a 1440x900 19 inch display and sometimes i get hickups and was wondering if it was the cpu not up to par with the gpu. Thanks for the responses!Turn all the eye candy up and OC the CPU if you can, the 9800's are closer to a GTX280 when the game uses SLi but they do like a fast CPU that has lots of onboard cache.

I have a Q8200 with 2 9800 GTX in SLI and at stock it was definitely bottle-necking my cards but I was able to overclock to 3.1 ghz and it helped alot. I was using an E84 @ 3.8 ghz at first but for games that can use multi threading the lower clocked quad killed with those games especially BF2 and GTA. I could probably get a little higher but my RAM is holding me back. But a Q8200 is a solid processor when overclocked at stock forget about it 2.33 is not enough to be a good gaming CPU. Max OC for these CPU usually tops out around 3.2 and it will take a good bit of voltage to do so but at 3.0ghz it will be more then enough for good gaming if its a prebuilt try set FSB or ClockGen to overclock I do know on stock voltage it will do 2.7ghz no problem getting higher then that stable needs some extra voltage.
