I just built my 3rd computer today and was expecting a huge difference in speed and I am not really happy with the results...
I went from:
Athlon 64 3800+ to a Phenom x4 9550
Asus A8v Deluxe 939 pin Mobo to Asus M3N78 Pro AM2+ Mobo
1 gig ram to 4 gig PC6400 800 ram
ATI 800 pro 128mb AGP8 video card to ATI HD 4650 1gb ddr2 PCI-2.0 video card
I've flashed the bios, updated the video drivers, and updated windows and I'm just not getting a speed increase over my old setup. In some cases (like getting online) it's actually slower.
I thought I was getting pretty knowledgable by my 3rd build but this has me totally stumped...
am I missing something?
do I have a bottleneck I'm not seeing?
could this be a power issue? I'm only running a 420w ATX power supply.
Help!
