What I mean here is this:

I have read several articles about slower CPUs bottlenecking the GPU with these higher-end cards. I am running on an Athlon 1.4 and am considering a CPU upgrade to get more out of my graphics and games. I don't want to get the Athlon XP 2600 if the 2000 will suffice.

Anyone know what the sweetspot is for a pairing of an Athlon XP CPU and the GeForce4 Ti4600? I read several articles and it looks likt the difference between a 4600 with an Athlon XP 2000 and the same card with an Athlon XP 2600 is not much at all. Thoughts?
