bottleneck?

Bottle necking is where a component is mismatched in speed with another.
For a example a Celeron 3ghz Cpu would bottle neck a 8800 GTX gfx card as the processor would not be fast enough to feed the GFX data.
Resulting in the GTX being crippled.
Having one ultra fast component is no good if none of the other parts can keep up with it. A fast processor won't allow you to play
computer games any faster if the bottle neck is a cheap graphics card. A fast graphics card is no good when you only have 256MB of
RAM.

gfx card = bartender
cpu = people wanting coctails.
A) If the bartender is really fast, but people can only drink this much, the bartender can't use his skills, because of the people drinking. so bartender can make 60 coctails an hour, but the poeple only drink 30
B) If the bartender can make 60 drinks an hour, but the people want 120 drinks an hour, then there is also a problem.
C) If both the bartender and the people have an equal ratio, 60/60 then there is no problem.
A: cpu bottleneck
B: gpu bottleneck
c: no bottleneck.
