CPU Bottleneck?

Yup, no problem. I'd have said that from the start but it didn't come out that you had a dell mobo until the second page there.
BTW, I still believe once you get a 2.0 slot that then the CPU will be your bottleneck because of the clock speed. If you can overclock it to atleast 3ghz, then you'll be doing real good. 6gb of ddr2-800 ram is no bottleneck, unless that ram has some high timings. What timings are you running it at?

Hmm, OK those are some slow timings for 800 ram. You should upgrade to this-

It's 1066 memory with a cas latency of 5. Thats a pretty large improvement over 800@6, even if it's 2gb less. Heck, just get 8gb of it and you're all set!

Thank You for your help man. But I dont buy from newegg I buy of another place is it the same GB of ram this one? http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=15380BD6771&vpn=F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK&manufacture=G.SKILL

8 gigabytes of RAM? 4 gigabytes of random access memory is more than enough.
Probably will be. Depends on what you're doing with your PC. There are instances where more than 4gb will be needed.
