New to AMD Processor and not impressed ,what could be wrong with this setup??

Well without a lot more details about what programs you're using,
you're not giving us much to go on here. Try the usual suggestions:
start the Windows Task Manager, go to the Process tab, and sort by CPU
in descending order while you're doing the things you're normally
doing. Watch which processes use up the most CPU time.

Also see if all of your IDE devices are using DMA modes. Often when you
upgrade an existing computer to a new one, some things like DMA mode
get screwed up in the conversion.

PS When I switched from an Athlon XP to an Athlon 64 Winchester, Win
XP just didn't work well anymore, although I'm sure I uninstalled the
drivers before switching. So I did a clean reinstall and it is quite
lively.


Thanks ,, i guess that maybe i'll have to see about backing up my system
and then do a format reinstall and see what happens.

If you didn't format and reinstall Windows when switching the entire
chipset, that is definately your problem. In all honesty, you are lucky it
even booted.

Youur video card sucks for one.It was close to maxed out with the Celly.
And,a new system won't speed up downloading.

I recently upgraded my system and decided to try out a Amd processor
instead of the Intel processor.

I will show you what is in my system below ,, but i upgraded from a
Celeron 1.7 processor and i find that this system is now much slower
since upgrading to the AMD. I use this system mainly for d/ling , movies
, music and decoding them for burning ,,nothing to do with gaming or
programming or the such. But trying to multitask slows the systme to a
crawl ,,, i used to be able to d/l , decode and even burn ,,, plus have
my email and other apps open and not have to much lag ,,now if i have a
virus scan and try to d/l or decode something plus email , it pretty well
slows to a stop.

Any suggestions???

I didn't ask your opinion on my video card ,, and my problem isn't with
the d/l's its with the multitasking of the whole system , so if you can't
add anything positive ,, then why respond???
