ok i bought a PC a few months ago(Pentium D 950 CPU 3.4ghz, 2 gigs of ram, geforce 7500LE, i dont know what my MOBO is) now i knew the graphics card was ok but i needed to upgrade after doing a little researching. i chose the Geforce 8800GTS 320mb super-clocked cause it was cheaper yet faster than the other 8800's at its Price range and my monitor is 1440x900 so the memory will be plenty. i have the game Company of heroes and with all the settings on high it runs great. however i get bad lag when i have texture detail on ultra but when i put it on high it runs great. i wonder if my CPU is bottle-necking my system. i kinda feel bad about getting a new CPU case i spent 700$ on the original PC and now I'm changing it out so soon. what u guys think

I do not think it is the cpu because I have a pentium 4 3.0ghz 7900gt and 2 gb of DDR2 RAM and I can run Company of Heroes maxed out no problem. I think it is something else but I do not know what it is. I just wanted to clearify that it is not you or your computer's fault.

Pentium D is not a good choice at this time but you don't need to but another yet.That 950 will do the job for the time.
