When you have a part that slows down the rest of your parts. ex. If you have a pentium 4 and a Geforce 295. Your pentium 4 will bottleneck your 295, therefore you are not reaching your full potential.
a good example of bottlenecking is a 4870 and a dual core trying to run gta4, despite the qualified card, it will run slow because the game is optimised for tri/quad cores. Thus your processer is holding back (Bottlenecking) your gpu's capabilitys.
u fail dude bottle neak means when part of your system is slowing down your computer like a high end graphics card with a crappy cpu one good example can be running a gtx 295 (super high end gpu) on pci express 1.0 with a athlon x2
