Hi!
Although this discussion has been taken to private mail, I want to
add two possible solutions to the problem of "stuttering" sound:
1.) Buffering: I don't know about winamp, but all mp3-players I
have allow to set the size of a buffer for decoded audio data.
If this buffer is large

No, I'm telling you that the amount of data being sent to the card by the

I dont understand how you can blame software for an obvious hardware
problem. Its like blaming engine stuttering on bad gas. What is bad gas?
I personally dont believe there is such a thing. You are taking an apple
and saying it causes the orange to smell like an orange.
Second of all. NO

Try turning of anything that isn't needed. Look in the task manager and
shutdown as many things as you can, one by one. Once you have
identified which one is causing the problem, either remove it permently
or get an updated version of it. Also in set up mode, try disabling any
power managment

AMD put the screws to intel, and intel responded by upping the date of the
next gen processor by 8 months :).

I have never heard anything like this. It is quite interesting though. I
know there are errors with VIA chipset's that cause problems with AGP cards.
But then again, we ARE talking about ATI.

The VMM.DSD/.VXD are never replaced by a video card. The VMM are only files
which control the movement of virual memory in Windows. They also control
the flow and allotment of memory for the AGP slot and the PCI/DIMM/SIMM
bridge. The VMM would have no affect on speed.

Personally I think matrox cards are some of the best in 2d. They display at
very high resolutions very well, they always have a good RAMDAC and that is
the reason they display well. However, they are lagging in MANY other
areas. Their drivers are some of the worst availible, not only does it t

Matrox ... period. I have an original Millennium 2MB in this PC, and a

I have a PII/350. Never experienced any skipping before, and I've not
