What do you mean by "it doesn't run as fast as you would have hoped?" Do ya mean games? Benchmarking programs?
That overclocked Athlon is as powerful as a 3.06 HT P4 if you really have it at 2.35 GHz. There is definitely nothing wrong with the processor!
If games don't run as good as you like, I'd suggest an upgrade. The Radeon 9600 Pro is a midrange card, and a simple GF4 TI4200 outperforms it in some tests. You'll only get average marks in benchmarking programs unless you get a better video card.
Games are the same way. You can probably run them damn good with the 9600 Pro, but after 800*600 with high detail, it probably slows down.
Tell us what you mean about how it isn't performing as well as you hoped, and we can give ya some more pointers!
