I would Check Drivers and Windows Updates. What game are you getting low FPS by the way?

[/<yle]

You sure you havent been drinking? that can cause low fps too.

Defragment

A dcrease from 1.9 to 1.1 is VERY significant imho afaik. That "support guy" had no right giving you a lower processor instead of your old one. Unless you specifically bought the 1.1 given the 1.9 was out of warranty or something...

hmm
ya, i think so too

Only SATA harddrives and WD Raptors doesn't require defragging(Sometimes they even do require it), and maybe some IDE in RAID config.

But generally all Harddrives require maintainance once in a while. Specially if you use unstable OS such as Windows.

As for Mole,
You sir have been ripped-off by the tech support guy. Submit a complaint and a claim to their company.

Though a 9800 se is a peace of shit if it just started then it’s not that. Make sure you graphics texture quality mip-mapping and set to a reasonable setting and antialiasing is off as well as antiseptic filtering. You may do this my right clicking you desktop in the menu that comes up go-to properties then settings > advanced >ATI 3D> direct 3d custom then open-gl custom.
