Hello everyone. Briefly, between my older pc configuration and my curent apart from the case and PSU (and a harmless scsi card) what remains the same is stuttering in games. Very anoying.
Typically that "stuttering" effect is caused when the game has to load something from the hard drive. Usually this happens because you don't have enough RAM, but with 512MB I'm not sure what would cause it.
Does your hard drive start reading just as this stuttering effect occurs?
Do you run anything in the background when you're playing the games?

Yes the effect is the same only that the games are neither reading from hard drive nor cdrom ... and ofcourse i close all programs before stat a game .... background extremely minimal : pnly sound volume and norton internet security (i am not connected to internet while runing a game)

Hmmm, that's a tough one.
Rather than focus on the differences, what is the same between the two PC's? Did you have Norton Internet Security on both etc.?
Which games are they, and what is happening in game when the problem occurs?
I’m sure someone will come along and post “That’s easy, here’s the problem and here’s how you fix it” but until they do you’re stuck with my help. :wink:
