My thoughts are this. Did you get a Core 2 Duo or just a Pentium Dual Core? There is a difference and the Pentium Dual Core is not that much better than a Pentium M. It is just a Dual Core Pentium chip compared to that of a Core 2 Duo.
Actually Pentium Dual Core's are Core 2 Duo's that have less cache and perform just as good. You might be thinking of a Pentium D but to my knowledge they never made a mobile version of it.
I'm with zedman, I think the 8600gs may be slower than your old systems 7800gt
