the Q6850 isnt bottlenecked hahaha. really, to play games, as the 8800 is meant for, processors are fine, and the 8800 is above the bar. the average 4400 overclocked to 2.6GHZ with a stock heatsink could power through almost any game currently made on full settings, so i never really think of processors 'bottlenecking' the 8800, simply behind in technology, and in a way where it doesnt really matter
