CPU Bottleneck?

Hi

Basically I'm going to be upgrading my GPU soon to a GTX 260 (216) and was wondering if it would be bottlenecked in any way by my CPU: Pentium Dual-Core E2180, 2GHz stock speed, I'm running it OC'd at 3GHz. Would the 260 run at it's full potential on my system?

I didn't know whether to post this in the CPU or GPU forum so decided upon the general board.

Thanks for your help.

2 x 3ghz is more than acceptable

I think it will bottleneck your GPU

no way, a good dual core at 3.0GHz at least will be fine mate,
