I know it’s not neccesarily how much ram I have but I am thinking maybe the ram and or CPU arnt propely compatible with te motherboard , though according to the instructions they are. But maybe they are too slow? The old mobo had an fsb of 800mhz and this new one is 1066mhz or something. Also I updated the bios to the latest version and updatd mobo drivers. I’m not sure If this makes. Difference or not. Another thing is the motherboard supports sata 3gb/s and my hard drive is 1.5gb/s though the old board was also 1.5gb/s transfer rate.

The ram speed maybe a problem.
Make sure your new motherboard supports that type of ram.

Do control/alt/del and look at what things are running
it should show 99% of cpu being used by the idle process.
If its less say 60% then see what program is using up that cpu power.
try closing that program and check the speed.[/quote]

are you running vista or xp?

God bless us all.

If you are running Vista then good luck.
I don’t like that system.its very resource intensive.
