Have you bechmarked with 3DMark yet? If not, d/l it and see what kind of score you get, it would be a good starting point for comparison. For tweaking the video card, go to
http://www.rage3d.com and download their tweaking utililty, it can tweak most of the settings for the ATI card. Other than that, make sure your bios settings are right. I'm sure other people here can give you pointers on that..... time for me to eat and go to work.
