Hi guys,

i bought a medion MD8800 2 years ago which came with XP
the specs were pretty decent and i payed £700 for it...

i decided to add another 2 gig of ram and upgrade the gfx and sound card...

my system specs are :
Intel® Pentium® D Dual Core processor 830
3.0 GHz, 2 x 1MB L2 Cache, 800 MHz FSB
Nvidia Geforce 7650 GS 256DDR2 HDMI / DVI
3GB DDR2 SDRAM with 533 MHz
2x Sata Drives 1 = 150gig 7200 and other samsung spinpoint 1tb 7200
Soundcard : Asus Xonar D2X 7.1 Optical Digital High Performance & Fidelity sound card
Does anyone have any idea why vista seems a bit rubbish on this?
and if theres anything i can do to improve the performance
its scoring 4.3.

i dont have any motherboard drivers for vista (but vista auto installs anyway) the motherboard is MS-7204
but when you go on the MSI Motherboard Website there is no such board and the MSI Auto Driver Upgrade Tool does not recognise the board as it is customer made for Medion.

if i have to, i would upgrade my CPU and Mobo but if im going to do that i would be aswell as getting a new pc lol

to round up..
basically i just want to know what you think might be making my system a tad sluggish.
