My old Intel Core2 Duo E7600 2x3.06GHz system (CPU, RAM, chipset, ...) could support a new GTX970 card?

Or would be at the old hardware somewhere a bottleneck, which would slow down the new card?

SETI & AstroPulse crunching.
3 tasks simultaneously?

Thanks.

Interesting question...

edit..


Lunatics uses 0.04 CPU per AP so you should be fine
