1. I do not have any old video cards around here anymore. I sold them.<br><br>2. I believe it is a video issue, because I went from using my Hercules sound to the Onboard sound (Hercules disabled) with the exact same results. All drivers I've tried give me the same damned results.<br><br>3. I am getting even more angry by the day. I do not want to play tribes this way, because it sucks. I upgraded my system to better play tribes and other new games coming out. I wanted something fast, smooth and pretty. The system is fast and pretty, but not smooth. I backed up my more important data today, and I may try an fdisk and reinstall of win XP.<br><br>I did some more checking of IRQ's and the USB Universal Host controllers are trying to share IRQ's with the VId and NIC. So I disabled the Host controller for the one trying to share the same IRQ as the Vid. Same result. I would disable both of them, but I have a USB mouse..... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Maybe I can find an old PS/2 around here somewhere to test... <p><div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div><p align=center><font color=#ff0000>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!</font></p></p><i></i>

If it really is a video issue, this would prove your point that it has something to do with the video card if it didn't stutter.
