Getting the most out of dual core?

Hi everyone. I've bought a new X2 4600+, upgrading from a 3700+.
Problem is, I dont actually notice much of a difference! Of course there is one, but its not exceptional. Is there anything i can do to get the most out of the dual core (except for the Dual Core Optimizer, which i can't download as for some strange reason it gets stuck on 3.5/5mb)?

Or is it the rest of my setup that may be bringing me down? I'm not all too pleased about my motherboard and plan to upgrade to 2gb ram.

Cheers
