You may have covered this already, but did you have the sound drivers updated? NOT the ones that XP gives, but the ones from the chipmaker's site? <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left> <left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a> <a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a> Have a Nice Day!

Yup. All the drivers are updated to the most current ones. <div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!

Oh, so you've still got the stutter. Well, in that case, go buy a cheap soundcard from a local store where you can return it. AC-97 is about a SB16 equivalent, so you should be able to pick it up quite inexpensively. Anyway, pop that in and see if your stutter goes away. I'd be more willing to believe there's something wrong with that particular AC97 implementation than that your vid card is making your sound stutter. UPDATE: Upon further research, you can find a lot of people griping about VIA chipsets and bus latency, and it's not a new issue. This article specifically references RAID, but they do mention that Via was nixed off of Maxtor's recommended hardware list. The AC97 is going to be using the PCI bus, too. <a href="http://www.tech-report.com/news_reply.x ...  Another suggestion <blockquote>Quote:<hr> Go to the controlpanel, Audio and multimedia. Select advanced on the soundcard settings and try either setting the "use hardware acceleration" on or off depending on what you have now.<hr></blockquote> Here's an interesting thread from a guy whose A/V stuttering stopped when he upgraded his PSU! <a href="http://forums.viaarena.com/messageview. ...  <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif border=0 align=left>XMEN member Card-carrying DTM OKL Fish-napper Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained. - The Tao of Programming Life is complex; it consists of real and imaginary parts.

I am gonna look at those articles.... I do have a soundcard that I was using. It was a Hercules Game Surround Muse XL. Same problems. I have seen lots of gripes about the VIA Chipset, but it almost seems inevitable when you have an AMD CPU.... <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("> <div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!

Ya, I know. I've always used them in the past, but I have been pleasantly surprised with my emergency-purchase SiS chipset-based board.

OK Gambino... I read up on it, and seeing asI only have a 300W PSU in my system now, I decided to try the PSU Route. I mean yeah, 300W is fine for a Duron, but for the Athlon? Probably not, especially with the GF4. So I went on over to Newegg.com and bought an Antec 400W PSU for $65. (And I bought a Toshiba 16x DVD-ROM Drive for $41 w. Free Shipping. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"> ) So, I should have those parts Thursday or Friday. Hopefully, that is the case, then I will run my system with the Box fan for a while yet, and add some fans in October, after the Obligatory trip to Fry's. (I may just go get a HDD Cooler that fits in a 5.25" Drive Bay, and blow some more air in there.) <div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!

Ah. No. I meant the hard drive cooler.

I DO have a PSU lying around. BUT, it's not AMD approved for use with Athlon XP's.

I'd still be interested in the HDD cooler tho. Is it s 2 or 3 fan model? <div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!

2 fan. The problem that I have with it, is that I don't have an inlet cover for it. So it just sucks everything in...things get pretty dusty in there.... <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left> <left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a> <a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a> Have a Nice Day!

Icky.... I have enough dust in my case already..... Besides, not having an inlet cover is not good for those with small children... (i.e. me) <div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!

XMEN Ashaman DTM · Post by **XMEN Ashaman DTM** » Mon Sep 23, 2002 1:59 pm

Yeah. I don't use it anymore because of that. I intend to get a cover for it someday. Or sell it. I won't get a cover for a while though. I use my Koolance stuff now. Works pretty well. <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left> <left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a> <a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a> Have a Nice Day!
