I just upgraded my pc but it seems to runs lower than before.

Old specs
Athlon 2600+
512 RAM
Radeon 9600 SE

New specs
Athlon 64 X2 4000
1gig RAM
integradted nvidea 6100 graphics

I'm using a new motherboard too that dosn't have agp graphics so I have to use the integrated.

I'm pretty gutted. Running normal applications is about the same but when gaming I have to run lower specs. It might be because the new mobo is for vista so the drivers won't work since I'm still on xp. Anyone else had this happen to them?

Integrated graphics are terrible for gaming. Your 9600se is easily faster. You need to get a real graphics card to see an improvement. Your new build is actually a downgrade in terms of graphics.
