hello everybody, i'm new to this forum.

yesterday i bought some new components, here is the old and the new configuration:

MB Asrock DUALSATA sck.939 ---> MB Gigabyte P35-S3G
Athlon 64 3200+ ---> Intel Core2Duo E8500
2GB DDR400 Kingston ---> 2GB DDRII 800 OCZ Platinum
HDD Hitachi DeskStar 160GB SATAII ---> HDD Hitachi DeskStar 160GB SATAII
GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 ---> GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 (HD4850 soon)
PSU Sharkoon SHA450-8P 450W ---> PSU Sharkoon SHA450-8P 450W

to be honest, it's not as fast as i expected... was i just expecting too much?

few things i've noticed:
- crysis loads much faster than before, but at all high except shaders and postprocessing that are on medium, i get around 12 FPS; all medium - 18-20 FPS;
- it takes windows to load same as before, if not a few seconds longer.

so, is there any program that i could run, it tests the components and their performance, overall system performance, i get the report, paste it here, and you tell me if everything works as it should?
 
I think its your video card, I have a evga 9800gtx superclocked I run crisis at 1280x1024 on all high with 2x AA and I get good playable performance and I only have a core2duo 2.33ghz with a evga 650i mobo. your setup should scream with a new board, processor, and video card. don't skimp on the video card though.

Oh and as far as windows, make sure your not running any unnecessary programs at startup like antivirus ect. clean out that startup list.
