Having a problem with low FPS...

I've recently got my hands a preowned computer that would serve as an upgrade to my old system (which had a Athlon XP 2700+), which I'm happy about. :) The problem is that I'm getting some big problems with my graphics. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas?

Specs: Pentium D 940 (Yes, yes. It's running at about 80^c according to the BIOS, and I've switched the temp throttling off in said BIOS)
2GB DDR400 RAM
ASrock 775i65G
Geforce 6800

Now, in the 2700+ system (which had a MSI 6667 motherboard, fyi) I was getting FPS of between 20 and 30 in Team Fortress 2. Now I'm getting 6. It's the same GFX card, same RAM. I'm going to swap to a X1600 Pro and see if that works, but otherwise I'm at my wits end. Ideas?

Sorry, that's not on the cards at the moment. :p

I got the basic problem sorted - I needed an Intel chipset driver. The CPU temperature problem? I've underclocked the processor to 2.4Ghz per core and I'm still hitting 82c under load. I'm going to reseat the heatsink and see how it goes.
