Some things to check... Build of Cubase SX.. if its SX1, then you should
be running the update that takes it to 1.0.6. If its SX2, then you're looking at the update that takes it to 2.0.1
Other things to check if you're running Windows XP is that your system is "configured for music production", as there are system config tweaks you can do to make XP perform better for the demands placed on it by music (non music background apps turned off, screen savers, power saving/hibernation turned off etc..) Do a search here on DT for this, or you can go to http://www.musicxp.net for this info..
Make sure you're running the latest drivers for your soundcard AND that they're okay for working with Cubase SX2 (if that's what you're using) - several brands of soundcards have had to have their drivers revised to work with the newer Cubase SX (Terratec and STAudio both spring to mind)
Finally, you may need to check the buffer settings on your soundcard drivers control panel (it should be running in ASIO mode for Cubase SX for best performance in audio work NOT MME or DirectX mode)
Larger buffers = higher latency but smoother playback on projects with a lot of audio, plugins etc.
Smaller buffers = lower latency, more cpu strain but vst instruments plugins etc. respond quicker (more like "real time"), however if you push the latency too low, or your trying to do too much in real time then you will get pops and crackles..
All this stuff is very well known and documented in faqs etc.. I'm sure the other folks here can add plenty on to my cursory info but anyway, hope this helps..
Good luck..

did you use the same graphics card when you swapped board/cpu etc?
perhaps it's a good time to list all the components?

The latest listed WDM Terratec 24/96 drivers are dated 29.08.2003 and can be found HERE.. which is the official Terratec driver support website.
I can't really think of anything else to suggest via a forum post... I offered to try some more support suggestions over the phone and left you a contact number for me (as I've found it a *much* quicker method by which to help ppl with their tech problems), but as I didn't hear from you I guess you weren't interested.. Anyway, good luck, I'm sure it'll get sorted..

In your cubase-folder is a folder called 'midiportEnabler'- in that folder you will find a file called 'ignoreportfilter'.Move this file to cubase-folder so one step up and all midi-inputs/outputs will appear to choose from in the inspector.you will have emulated and non-emulated ones but have to try wich one will work for you.For some people the non-emulated midi-ports will fix this problem but for me it was the other way around so its trial and error.
Its a big problem and lots of people have it but the above suggestion fixed it for me so give it it try
good luck
