Hello there buyed a new A7V133 motherboard and thats when problems started occuring. First of all new athlon XP 1500 refused to work and had to underclock it get it work. Changed it to 1333 thunderbird and it works well. The problem Iam having now is that my old 3D card Radeon 64ddr vivo and new GF3 TI200 are having problems with D3D games like flashpoint and Red faction.
The problem is kinda hard to describe but ill try. The FPS are good in all games as you would expect with a rig like this:
Windows XP & ME , both have the same problem
Asus A7V133-c rev 1.05 with 1007 bios
athlon 1333 not overclocked with
512 pc133 memory
Elsa GF3 TI200 with .83 detonators, tryed different drivers no help
4.35 4-1 drivers
Fortissimo 2 soundcard
To the problem:
Like I said the FPS are greate, but the games suffer from stuttering which is not constant but example when Iam sliding sideways in red faction looking at wall with big poster in it. The graphics turn into slideshow like some frames would drop off or something The problem in other games like flashpoint and Max payne arent so bad but in those too the stuttering is noticable. Turning off vsync helps a bit but still the problem stays.
My system loads from hard drive normally during game but the stuttering isnt HD activity. When HD activity is hard you get noticable pause in a game this isnt like that. Now I have tryed everything, installed OS fresh about 5 times now, updated bios and all drivers are the latest. I unplugged soundcard , netword card and cd-roms so that only teac burner and GF3 remained in the system, still graphic stuttering.
Weird is that I dont have any graphic errors or crashes, to me it looks like a motherboard problem. I have tryed different AGP sizes and have runned setup defaults in bios. Has anybody else had the same kinda problems? What do you think about this one, any tips or advices all are welcome
ps. Runned intensive memory program for about 6 hours straight, so I guess it isnt faulty memory aither.

Also, set your swap file to I guess 200MB to be safe - minimum and maximum. Download <A HREF="http://www.vopt.com/voptme.htm" target="_new">VoptMe v6.2</A> - it's free for 30 days, then you have to pay $40 - and use it to optimize and defrag your HD. I actually just used this to optimize the positioning of your swap file.
I installed cacheman and have set hard drive cache to min 50 max 50. Havent tryed the conservative swap file system yet but ill give it a try.
