Right now I have a p4 3.2ghz, 7600gt, ddr 1gb ram and a good set of HDD. I recently purcased the 226bw and am having trouble playing games at its native res of 1680x1050.

I work hard and am a bit poor but have managed to scrape together 800 aussie dollars.

And so i plan on getting this as well as a new case. http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/index.php?redir=http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/show_image_products.php?input[category_id]=431

Will the E6600, 2 GB ram and my 7600gt combo be enough to run my games at 1680 reso? Will there even be a worthy performance increase?

I have a p4 3.2 ghz, 1 gig of ddr400 and a 7600gt. I wish to play crysis in the future.

First of all i wanted to know if my CPU is actually bottlenecking my GPU, if so, how much?(i need to know the truth, if u dont know for sure plz dont post)

Money is tight for a 17 year old with a supermarket job but i love my PCs and so i plan to upgrade to an e6600, a new motherboard, 2gb of ddr2 ram and a new case. (Eventually an 8800gts)

I also wanted to know if there are motherboards that support the e6600 and the p4 3.2, that way i could upgrade the mobo and ram first until ive saved enough for my proc.

Ive got a pretty average laptop with an OK processor and a basic intergrated graphics chipset. Can i connect this to a 22' Widescreen monitor and have it display well? Im not playing games on it.
