Ti-200 won't bottleneck a CPU, Ti-500 will a little, but not enough to notice. Also if the computer is a HP or Dell, etc than you won't be able to upgrade much period. The proprietary crap they stuff in won't let you do much, and most of them have next to no room. Upgrading to a P4 will require a new Mobo, remember Rambus, so the AMD would still be an option if the mobo has to go anyway. The only P4 I'd touch would be the Northwood core anyway stay away from the 2GHz, I've seen some places selling Willamettes as Northwoods, cheap bastards. A 2.2 is guaranteed to be a Northwood. Still wait a few more month's, the Hammer is coming!!

Well i just over clocked my ThunderBirt drom 1000mhr to 1300 and i got about 15 frames per sec out of it it.

3dMark Score went from 5123 to 5826.
So yes m8, a 1gig CPU Is! a bottle neck for the TI200.

I have seen ppl with a XP1700 gething 30 frames a sec more then me on most tests, so even a 1,3gig is a bottle neck.
