Default Optimizing a new rig

Hi all,

I just built a new rig recently, its by far not my first one, but it's performance is nowhere near what I expected it to be. My specs are as follows:
Asus M2R32-MVP mobo
AMD 64 x2 5600 at 2.9
2gb DDR2-800
two sapphire radeon hd2600xt 512mb GDDR3 each, pci-e with crossfire
500 watt cooler master ps
thermaltake m9 case

For whatever reason, when it comes to gaming, performance is barely different than the rig it replaced (athlon 64 single core, 1gb ram, overclocked agp x1600 pro) Flight Sim X gets about 18 FPS with medium settings.

I have the latest drivers for everything, as that was my first thought. Any ideas on what I am missing here? I didnt expect this to be some ultra machine, but for the money I spent after the old rig broke, I am kinda disspointed.

Thanks,
Jody
