Re: CPU bottle necking question
Hi Guys,
Sorry for high-jacking the thread.
Just wanted to know if my pc is suffering form a bottle neck.

2 GIG RAM(2 Sticks)
Q6600 Core 2 quad @ 2.4GHz (Removed overclock due to stability issues.)

I have noticed my pc is slowing down a lot and i was wondering if this could be a bottle neck. If so what is causing it?
Thanks

Most probably the ram, if anything.
if it's in-game, good chance it's the gpu too.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Guess i will get some more ram then. I think the max for my board is 4GBs.
trying to save up for complete upgrade but other things always come up.

Re: CPU bottle necking question
Yeah, probably RAM. I run out of 2GB on an XP system without even playing a game. If you are running Windows 7 the problem should be even worse. In my case browsers consume a lot of RAM, having Opera and IE 7 open the whole time.

CPU bottle necking question
I know a q6600 at stock speeds bottlenecks the 8800GT - but the bottleneck was pretty much negated by pushing it to 3ghz. There is probably a minor bottleneck of your 8600 but the RAM is probably the biggest holdback.
Throw in some more RAM, 4gigs is pretty much the minimum any system should have these days.

Thanks guys.
@Monty - I could not get my system to 3GHz. only 2.8GHz.
Was stable and then about two months ago started restarting so i had to reset it by removing battery and jumper.
