My Question is ->

Will HD 6870 to use with Phenom 940BE - Will the Processor Bottleneck ??
Shall I Crossfire 2 X HD 6850 with phenom 940BE ??
Will DDR2 RAM is Suffice for Playing Games with HD 6870 ??

~ Thank You ~

Its no way a bottleneck. U may get a single card or CF.

What is the speed of your ram? greater size ram means lesser loading time. I had less amount of ram and my games used to crash because of that.

See his signature gollum

Won't be a problem with 4gb ram on board, i had just 1gb and all the latest games used to crash. Upgraded to 2gb and ever thing ran smooth.

You should be fine. Just keep that CPU running high like you do.

Never got beyond 3.85 Ghz. Motherboard issue. Just does not stay stable.

Just get a single fast card, believe me.

Is HD 6850 is better than GTX 460 1 gb ??

No, it is not better than GTX 460 1 GB as it is released to compete with the 768 MB version. However, it offers almost same performance of the GTX 460 1 GB in most of the benchmarks.

Most of them take their Q9550 to 4Ghz with TRUE 120 ! MSI P45 Platinum has nice NB cooler right ??

^^
Not that easy. I have an E0 but the board walls. Not sure. Have had enough with this board any ways, so am quite dandy at 3.8....!

^^ Yup 3.8 is enough ! see i am just upset with the 140W tdp sh!t !
