Despite that touch panels are still believed to post buoyant demand in 2008, demand for related components has slowed down recently, prompting industry players to believe that meaningful touch panel demand will only take off from the second quarter. Read more
Vista has rather an illogical performance rating tool. It tests some of your computer subsystems and gives you a total score that can give you an indication whether or not your machine is fit for Vista. Read more

Yes, I installed the drivers, I also had a look at the asus website, grabbed the drivers from there and installed those - no effect. |

How much memory do you have? Assuming you upgraded your cpu to a dual core, you now have enough cpu power to drive more than one application. This can cause you paging problems if you do not have enough memory to hold the working sets of all the active tasks. |

I've got 2GB of RAM, just like before. And its not a matter of running multiple apps - I've done that with the single core before without problems - the thing is - any heavy traffic on the bus (as with copying files) will lead to sloppy performance, as if the system couldn't handle that many file accesses, resulting in audio stuttering or slowing down - while the cpu load is between 5-10%. This occours every time, no matter for how long the PC is running or what applications are running. |

MP3 audio or internet radio also? If your copying from one drive to another and tring to listen to music on the HDD thats alot of bandwidth.

No, just normal MP3 audio - and as I had absolutly no problems before (using the same disks) with the single core CPU, I assume it has to do something with the board or the boards chipset drivers. And well, it doesn't matter from which to which disk I copy, or where the audio file is - it even happenes when copying on the same disk |

I'm guessing mobo or something in the OS. None of the problems that you are experiencing should be occurring. Initially I was thinking that you were running PIO instead of DMA but that would hog the CPU and you are at 5%.

If it's new it's easier, there's not much to back up. It's the perfect time to rule out the OS. In the long run you will save time, and aggravation. |

I had a similar problem once I actually did 6 clean installs. Afterwards it would work for 10 mins and then start stuttering again. I wasted a week of my life trying to fix it. It might not be the same thing but I did find the cause. I would tell you but I want you to suffer. |

Ok I'll tell you. Basicaly I eventually narrowed it down to bad ram. I was convinced it was a software/driver problem. Served me right for buying cheap no name stuff. But even the expensive stuff can have problems. Run Memtest. Even though the memory was fine before it can develop problems. My ram had been running fine for 6 months before that. It would also make sense considering you said that it happens regardless of HDD you are using.
