I have the system in sig at present, pretty much happy with it - but I'm wondering how much the 8800GT is being bottlenecked by the CPU?

I'm pretty sure that an expensive upgrade would yeild a lot more results, but I tend to try and spend moderate amounts for maximum gain, so thinking of a E2180, board and 4Gb of DDR2 as my next upgrade.

Anyone have any ideas/benchmarks to show how much I would gain from this, as im more than happy with the X2 for most other usage.... and yes, still a bit of AMD loyalty remains, though I wont be getting Phenom.
