What O/S do you have? XP or Vista 64 bit?

Your mouse might be bottle-necking you... Do you know how to properly overclock your mouse?

Your monitor might be bottle-necking you if you have a 19" 1280 x 1024 lcd

The application would be gaming.
The OS is XP.
Mouse is a Logitech G5 - not overclocked but it does have the heaviest weights in it.
Monitor resolution is 1920x1200.

You should be fine with 2gig RAM with XP. I only have 2 gig DDR2 667 with Vista 32bit and I do fine. 64Bit Vista, you should jump on 4gigs of RAM. By the way, I am curious, is your Q6600 running stock speed with that GTX 260 video card? I am curious because I am planning on upgrading my 8800GT card to a GTX 260 with my Q6600 running at stock speed.
