Okie doke so I have a Am2+ motherboard in an old HP I am messing with for fun. a with a phenom II x3 2.1ghz. First question is:

 

What is the best graphics card anyone has run with this cpu and ddr2 ram that does not bottleneck because of this cpu?

 

Second question: 

 

Since the Am2+ can accept Am3 Cpu's what is the best graphics card the top  Phenom IIIx6 can run as well as the highest amount of ram it will support on a 64biit system without bottle neck.

 

Theoretical posts are allowed but experiential are preffer IE those who have actually had these CPU's.

 

Also has anyone been able to run current games like tomb raider and skyrim with these cpus and the graphics cards you had in your systems.

you probably would wanna go for a 7870 or something along them lines as for ddr2.

I don't think ran speeds have a noticeable impact on performance unless it's an apu so if I was you just go for any ram that's the cheapest

Would I be able to put in about 8gb in this motherboard?
