AMD Athlon 64 Duel-Core Optimizer?

I got an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200 Brisbane 2.7GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor. And i was wondering if there was some program that would optimize my duel core efficiency. I got the product from Newegg, so they didn't have anything and i checked AMD's website and they didn't have anything either.

The reason i ask is that it seems that even with my new core (My old one was a Pentium 4) my PC isn't much faster. Like sometimes it can take upwards of 2 minutes to finish loading when i right click on a desktop Icon that i want to delete (More then likely caused by Vista frantically trying to find the file that the shortcut is coupled with)

So yeah, has anyone seen any optimizing programs out there for that particular processor?

First off there is no processor optimizer. Your system is running slow because you have way too much information on it or you have a trojan/virus slowing your pc down....try deleting all the files you do not use anymore like your temp files and stuff. click start type %temp% in the search bar and delete all your temp files. if all else fails reinstall windows. Too much information will make your PC run slow.
And for the record your internet isnt 54 Megabites its 54 Megabits.
