Radeon 9800 pro and CPU

Just a quick question. My Radeon 9800 Pro 128 is coupled with a 2.8 Ghz Northwood (thought it was a Prescott until I saw the "c" next to 2.8). Is the 2.8 going to bottleneck because of the Radeon's speed (meaning it is too slow), or is it the right speed to go with the Radeon? Should it be overclocked speed? I ask because I read in another thread that some processors are too slow for the video card, and because I havenet overclocked yet and I am wary of doing so.
 
I doubt that processor would ottleneck it very much if any, infact it's about right for the speed of the card. However I'm sure it'd be better if you had an extra 200mhz to work with but that's only if you want to have an excuse to overclock. :).

processor is totally fine...
but that processor is highly overclockable, so just bump to to 3.0 or 3.2ghz and you will have some crazy speed.
