How can I increase the sensitivity of my microphone?

My computer works fine except that the microphone level is such that I have to shout when using skype. I have been into the audio section on the control panel and turned the level up full, ensured the mike is on and even replaced the mic. How can I increse the level?

The computer is a Dell dimension C521 running windows XP home edition.

There's usually a +20db boost in the microphone properties...
