ok, i know this is probably the stupidest question in the forum but i've never understood the term "bottlenecking" and so i was just wondering if anyone can shed some light on the subject and explain what it means because i'm quite clueless.

Re: bottlenecking...wtf?

sabre,
A bottle neck is just wat iit sounds like!

A restriction f some sort, like if you have an Intel QX9770 Quad core CPU and 4GB of DDR3 Memory with a Geforce TNT2 32MB Graphics card you wont be able to play crysis because your video card is a bottle neck in the system

for example a glass bottle:

if you tip it upside down to drain it as fast as possible the neck of the bottle will slow the fluids rate of drain if you remove the neck of the bottle it will drain faster hence the "BOTTLE NECK"
