I has a Pentium D 805 OCed to 3.6, an OCed 7900GS, and 2 gigs of 667. I don't know much about bottlenecks, so I ask - is my CPU bottlenecking anything?

Depends. von Neumann's architecture specifies that most bottlenecks occur due to shared memory for both data and instructions, with the overall performance depending solely on the bus bandwidth between CPU and memory. This problem was slightly made less apparent with the implementation of local caches which sit between CPU and memory.
They call this the `von Neumann bottleneck'
