How much is my CPU bottlenecking me?
First post, hi everyone.
I'd just like some advice on my CPU, which is an underwhelming 2.9Ghz Celeron. How much is it screwing me over in terms of gaming performance? I know it's far from the best gaming CPU, but before I get out of shape about it I'd like to know approximately how much impact it's having before I consider upgrading or anything.
Here's my spec:
Intel Celeron 2.9Ghz CPU
2 x 512mb 3200 DDR RAM (forgot which make, are worth about £60 each if that helps)
GeCube Radeon X800GTO 128mb (AGP)
Creative Audigy SE Sound
Windows XP SP2
That's about all you need to know isn't it? I'd also give you some examples of what I play, but my taste is pretty diverse. I have Oblivion, if that helps? It's running happily on all the average settings ATM.
I know everything's all very mid-range and that's fine, I just need advice on how much the CPU is holding me back, if at all. Nothing's overclocked BTW, and if you need anymore info please ask.
Thanks a lot.
