Poor computer performance

Hi all

I am having huge problems running SH3 and most other games on a computer that should be able to run them fine

The computer is a dell 3100 with 1GB of ram and a 3GHZ processor. The graphics card is a Geforce 8500GT which was installed recently, (the computer used to use a intergrated intel card)

The game slows down inside the submarine and grinds to a halt when on the outside view. I know something is wrong here because my old dell laptop had 1gb ram and 3ghz and a old radeon 9600 which is much slower then the 8500 and it ran the game perfect. Generaly with most other games the performance is subpar to what would be expected.

Any idea whats going on? Is the card installed wrong. The dell 3100 doesnt have the standard slots for graphics cards so it was a special 8500gt card used (not sure of the name of the old slots)

Thanks
