Graphics card upgrade question

[Vigilante]

Hi,
I'm thinking of saving every dime I can for the next month to get a new graphics card. I'm thinking of getting this
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-150-068&depa=1

Anyway, my hangup is that my K8N Neo Platinum recently fried and I had to RMA it to MSI, so I'm back using a friends Soyo KT400 agp8x pc3200 motherboard with my athlon xp2600+ until i get a new K8N Neo sent to me.

Will an athlon xp 2600+ be a big bottleneck for that 6800? Thanks for any responses.

EDIT: I also recently got a thermaltake 420 watt silent power psu

It shouldn't be a huge bottleneck. I think you'll be fine with it for now.

The system will be just fine with plenty of fast ram. When pci express GFX cards come into their own all this might change :O)

Actually Could you please be spesific on the Type of Amd 2600 there are a few (about three) the one i had clocking at 2.07-2.08 (non oc) proved to BE A HUGE BOTTLENECK, Litteraly 20-30fps max yes with a 6800Gt. I had to shell out loads of cash to upgrade to a 64 before i could even play the thing
