Hello. I had a question about a possible bottleneck and my GPUs potential.

I installed Vista Premium on my 3rd pc.

I ran the the PC game/performance index chart. It came up that my AM2 athlonx2 6000 was a 5.5 and the rest of my system was maxed at 5.9 . The video card is a 4850 1gb card. I was wondering if I should overclock my Athlon slightly or just leave it as it is? As I mostly build the pc's as a hobby and for online games.

Thanks in advance.

the index chart thing is really off when it comes to real performance, the fine detail stuff.

If your bottlenecking it likely isn't by a huge amount but go ahead and overclock it just a bit, can only get better.
