Hi there, sorry that this is my first post and im already asking for Help, I will be an active member though 
My problem is this, I've just replaced some old Hardware with new stuff from ebuyer.co.uk.
My old system was as follows :-
MSI KT6-Delta FISR Mobo
ATi 9600 Pro 256MB DDR AGP 8x
AMD Athlon XP 2800
768MB DDR 400 Geil Ram (With Heatspreader)
Western Digital 80GB SATA HD
I was quite pleased with this system until I purchased Need For Speed : Carbon and decided I wanted better graphics.
I decided to do this 64 bit processor stuff now the prices are down...
So my new system is as follows :-
Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe Mobo
Asus nVidia 7300GS 256MB DDR PCI-E
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego Core (E4 Version)
768MB DDR 400 Geil Ram (With Heatspreader)
Western Digital 80GB SATA HD
Now on the Memory front, I did actually buy 1GB (2x 512) Corsair Value Ram sticks... But I updated my bios setup and they didnt get on with my system then... The Geil from my old setup seems to be alot nicer... As you can see, same HD as before, obviously with a Clean Insteall of Windows XP Pro.
My problem is Simple. After installing All of the new drivers, all the Windows updates (Bassically getting the system running as clean as possible)
I then installed Need For Speed : Carbon... Only to find that the graphical quality of my new setup is either Just on Par with my old setup if not a shade worse...
I genuinely cant understand this, comparing the specs there, Personally I would have thought my new setup would Out run the old by a mile!
But that is not the case...
Any advice? Let Me Know!?
(Is it possibly down to the fact that I am only running 1x PCI-E Graphics cards and I should have 2?)
Cheers, Adam.:sigh:
