New powerful computer running SLOW - framerate issues

.....um....this is a desktop =) tsunami case? asus mobo? x800 xt?

You prob misread :)

Thanks for the help,more is appreciated. the fight goes on

IF you've got 2 sticks of RAM, are they plugged into the proper slots? Check the color coding. If you're using double sided (x16) RAM thats a definite no-no. Have you made sure your DRAM freq. is set to 533 in BIOS? There are also a couple of PCIe frequency settings in your BIOS that might need to be adjusted. I'm betting that the problem is somewhere in the BIOS settings on this one....
