Hello, I was browsing youtube videos and reading benchmarks with SLI'ing EVGA 460's (1G versions) and was happy with what I saw on the videos. With both cards in x16 pci-e slots most people saw a doubling in performance going from one 460 (which is what I started with) to two. I'm seeing a boost, but not nearly as crazy as other rig's I've seen on youtube and reviews online. To my question!:

Now I have an Athlon x3 2.7ghz processor and I've had it unlocked to a 3.2ghz Phenom IIx4 B25 processor for about a year now. I'm not sure if it has the "stepping" capabilities of a normal Phenom II x4, and it doesn't have the L3 cache unlocked. So Would not having those features cause a bottleneck for the two 460's?

Thanks for any help :)
