I have no idea what is causing it but it

Mark, your board is with a i865 chip? Right? You mention it's stuttering.... Now, there's some mystery around this... Personally, I believe most of the stutters on i865PE chipped boards are due to improper UDMA initialisation... And now you 'have' to come in P

Sorry I don

I have only enabled them in the BIOS on my nforce 2 (most often they are enabled by default though) so never really had any problem with it for win xp. If you type dxdiag in the run section of the start menu you should be able to see if you are running in UDMA mode or not. If you are not you should be able to activate it through BIOS.

Marc, I need to apologize, I overlooked you have a Prescott 'heater' in da box. The i845PE I mentioned doesn't work with Prescotts AFAIK. P

Yup I take all credit :D. Best game in the European championship so far though I may not be completely unbiased.Now we will take on Italy and then quickly finish off Denmark too. It will be hard to make 5 goals on Italy though they are so god damn defensive. It could be a 0-0 game too if we are unlucky.
