4400/4600/4800+ x2 on a 8800, bottleneck?

Saw this question on another post re would an E6400 bottleneck a 8800 series or not. I'm just curious if an x2 4400/4600/4800+ would as i currently have a 3700+ san diego but my motherboard can take any of them. I was thinking of upgrading to a duos core but this might be a cheaper option for me unless duos cores were considerably faster in games. Anyone know if one of the athy 64 x2's would bottleneck my pc badly if i had an 8800gts/8800gtx ?

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies

Seems i wouldn't be saving enormous amounts so i feel a duos core move coming soon! while selling my old bits!

Thanks for the input new pc parts ordered and should all be with me friday.

E6600 (hoping to clock it to 3.0/3.2 or so)
Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI NF650i SLi
2gb geil 6400 ram
8800gtx 320mb

already found a buyer for old stuff and the difference is going to set me back about £350-£400 for a whole new pc so overall very chuffed

yea can't wait to get the parts and try oc'ing it! i know i could have got better value especially with the E6300/E6400 but decided on the E6600 eventually as its not a terrible price!.

Besides i seem to have some curse in the past with overclocking! so even if my curses continues i'll still have a healthy 2.4ghz to keep games flying
