Crap (Bottleneck)

I'm getting an 8800gt and I'm wondering if my computer will bottleneck with these specs: (I'm mostly worried about my cpu, and mobo)


CPU--- AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+

MOBO--- Cheap Piece of crap Dell. I have an E521, but all I could find out about the mobo was that the chipset is nVidia nForce 410. Some places said the fsb on the mobo was 1333/1066MHz and other places said its 1066/800MHz so i really have no clue. I contacted Dell TECHNICAL support, but the guy had no clue what "fsb/front side bus" even was so I just gave up.

Could someone tell me if they think this'll bottleneck and how badly? Thanks.

P.S. I have a new psu, so that's not an issue.
 
The nVidia nForce 410 is definitely an AMD chipset, meaning you won't have an FSB, rather an HTT, or hypertransport bus, or link, Rated at 1000mhz.

The 5000 has what speed, 2.4? not bad, if it is a bottleneck it won't be sorely obvious. You got 2GB's of RAM too? Btw the generic motherboard won't bottleneck much except for overclocking. It looks good for a GT build, no obvious bottleneck.

Okay good, that makes me feel a little better, thanks.

And yes I do have 2 gigs of ram, also the 5000's frequency is 2.6
