Performance problems w/ Athlon 650 system

My system is much slower than it should be. I've had these problems ever since I got the computer more than a year ago, but I never wanted to see how bad off I was, I guess. Anyway, I just did ran some becnhmarks and the results were pretty disgusting. My CPU/Memory benchmarks were comparable to a PII-200. They were even worse in some specific areas.

I'm running windows2000 on an Athlon 650, FIC SD11 motherboard, with 256 pc100 sdram, Asustek 6800 geforce ddr video card, IBM deskstar hard drives and a Pioneer DVD-104.

Does anyone have any idea on what/where the potential problems are? My main problems are that DVD/DivX playback is horrible, and it takes forever to load most games. Any help would be appreciated.
