I do get the choppy voice from time to time. This occurs when I have multiple programs running including Outlook, Firefox and most notably when using Nero in combination with the other programs. It doesn't happen often an usually it does not last for long.

I took my entire CD collection and used Windows Media Player to rip them to mp3 files. It is a Pentium 4 computer with one GB of ram. The only other application I installed was WinAmp, because I like the quality of sound over Windows Media Player. This PC runs fine with WE and is not choppy at all. My similar PC has MS Office and from time to time the fan powers up and WE becomes a little less responsive. I know that it needs to be updated to 3 GB of ram if I expect to get better performance.

When my system is bogged down, the WE voice, Reid, becomes choppy and slow. It especially happens when I have mu torrent running in the back ground, and then if I try to use OE or if I use windows explorer to move files between an SD card and the hard drive, it becomes almost totally non understandable. It does not happen on my netbook , which has a bit more RAM, but this has never happened before on my desktop. I was careful on which updates I put on my desktop and it still happens. Both systems are running WE 7.2 and Windows xp home with all available updates. Any suggestions off the tops of your heads?
