Would a Q6600 bottleneck the new 5800's?

Would my q6600 at 3.4 ghz bottleneck the new ati 5850 or 5870? I will play at 1920x1200.
My system specs are:
q6600 @3.4 ghz (425x8)
ASUS maximus formula x38
4 gb patriot ram (ddr2) overclocked to 850mhz from 800 mhz (so i can get a 1:1 dram:fsb ratio)
250 gb seagate barracuda sata II 16mb cache
3870s in crossfire

What resolution do you plan to run games at?

1920x1200

I wouldn't worry much about bottleneck since you game at 1920x1200. Your Q6600 @ 3.4 ghz should handle those cards no problem.

What kinda PSU do you have?

my psu is a 750 watt thermaltake..forgot the exact model..

I'd second that. At a lower res you'd probably be bottlenecked but at 1920x1200 most of the stress will be put on your gpu. 1680x1050 is usually the boarder between needing a faster cpu vs a faster gpu.

That psu is more than enough btw

I never realised that resolution made such a diffrence in the lower aspect
I've always noticed that runnng 1280 x 1024 had major diffrences compared to 1024 x 768 or 800x 600
but I've always noticed the reverse of what your saying
I run my system at 1920 x 1080 40in samsung hidef

it seems to me higher resolutions would require both more gpu and CPU
in comparison downsizeing from 1200 to 1024 should require less respectfully all the way around

to answer op original question no is the answer
because your running across 4 cores well above 3 ghz
I've noticed below 3 ghz 4870's even bottle a bit
