Possible bottleneck?

[tulx]

Hello people!

I'd like to enquire about a subject that has bothered me for some time now.
I built myself a an uppen-midrange system two years ago and upgraded it some months back.
The original setup was:

AMD Athlon 5000+
ASUS M2N-SLI DELUXE (nForce 590, I think, not sure, since I'm not at that PC now)
2 GB 667 RAM (Apacer)
8600 GT
Some generic 7200rpm ATA HDD

Current setup is:
AMD Phenom I 9850 Black Edition (2,5 Ghz)
ASUS M2N-SLI DELUXE (same mobo)
4 GB of the same 667 RAM
MSI n9800GTX+ (512 VRAM)
WD Velociraptor 10k RPM

While the preformace increase from the upgrade is noticable and I can run pretty much anything @ pretty much max settings right now, I'm planning to put in another MSI n9800GTX+ sometime in the future. My question is - won't the system with a relatively new CPU and 2xGPU be bottlenecked by the older MoBo and maybe the low Hz RAM?
Thanks in advance!

The processor would be the main limiting factor. Who was it that had CPU scaling charts? Let's see....

There you go. There are going to be games that need a lot of CPU power that will hit you hard, but looks like you can do it. Just upgrade your memory when you can.

Thanks for the advice!

So, basically, the older nForce chipset won't bottleneck the other parts, right?

PS - and by "upgrading memory", you mean getting higher Hz RAM, not more GBs?

Well, everything is a bottleneck to some degree. I'm just saying it's not the first thing to worry about.

Yes faster RAM, preferably 1066 CAS 5.
