Be sure that you have the newest motherboard and chipset drivers, also WinXP Service Pack 1 installed. Check to see if DirectX is fully updated and that you don't have any programs running in the background. Try these sites for XP, they are amazing..http://www.blkviper.com/WinXP/strangeservice.htmhttp://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_pages/startup_full.htm

Hey Jim....Another AZ simmer!How frequent are your stutters? Do they seem to come at a frequent interval, and do they seem rather regular? With '98 I notice an odd stutter from time to time, only when the HD is thrashing away. Comes and goes so fast, I usually don't notice.If your stutters seem rather regular, I'm with the other suggestion. Something may be running in the background under XP that is hitting your system. This is especially true is going from '98 to XP was the only change you made. Also, a driver that isn't tuned for XP could be a culprit. The sound driver, video driver, even modem or LAN driver--any of these could be a culprit. Come to think of it, I somewhat recall someone having a similar issue related to a LAN driver under XP, but I can't remember the details.-JohnKPHX
