I recently purchased a Evga 7800gs. I uninstalled my old drivers and installed new drivers. I tried playing WoW and CS and noticed this card was running worse then my previous card a ti4200. So I thought it was the PSU maybe, so I got a antec 650W true power trio. Well that wasn't the case either. My FPS drops constantly in those games. I know my comp isn't the greatest, but I would of thought it should work better /w a new card. So i'm hoping it's not the card and just my MB being ******py.

What do you think I should do? If I have to replace my MB and processor, what should I get? someone recommended to me P4P500-E Socket 478, but these are hard to come by and only come in used, but I heard there one of the best MB's for AGP. I want to be able to use my Vcard, HD, PSU, and DDR SDRAM (2xPC2700) on the new MB and processor. Any recommendations?
If it isn't my computer is it the Vcard? How do I test this or should i just contact Evga support for the warranty. Thanks in advice for the help
