I am getting sudden framerate drops and game freezes for a few seconds with sound looping issues when playing the l4d demo, also the recommended settings should hav been all max but the game effects were put to medium and AF was only at 4 and AA was at 4 at 1680x1050 even though my specs are e8400, 4gb ddr2-800, 9800gx2 win xp. Does anyone know why is this happening?

No, it appears to be random although some claim it is a problem with multicore and change a command called mat_que_0 sorts it for some, i think that is the command anyway, haven't tried it myself.

From what i can see, it spans, OS's, gfx cards and cpu's so it is most likely a valve problem.
