        I had some of the problems that you've been talking about too. I have a gig of ram so my ram isn't the problem.

        Just make sure you have your paging settings right for your cache. It should be set to 1.5 times the amount of ram you have. Also, some games are a little messed up if you have full hardware accelleration for sound on. This mostly occurs with audigy sound cards.

        I have an audigy mp3+, and so far the only problems I've had is with games made by EA.

        Oh, I have an idea. What is your drivers that you are using? Maybe it has something to do with that. THe most stable ones are the 30.82's. The 40.xx's are a little iffy on the D3D games, and I've found the 41.09's to be just fine.

          i did what you said about the paging file and set it to what windows recommended which is 960 minimum and 1200 max.and i turned sound acceleration down a notch but still nothing changed
