I get the same on kind of *pause* while gaming and think it has
something to do with CD/DVD rom drive access.
Don't think it's CPU cycles but a hardware/interrupt thing since I get
it on both the laptop (P4/2Ghz) and the desktop (XP2800) here with even
older games like C&C generals when scrolling across map.
Dell did fuck up IMO by putting the internal optical drive on same chain
as HDD in the laptop, why is a mystery.

Have you checked Windows Task Manager to see where your CPU cycles are

Hey Jim & Greg, good to hear from you two. How would I check for the
AGPGart issue?
Greg, I checked and Cool-and-Quiet was disabled, but I:
Disabled CPU Thermal Throttling (what does that do? - was at 50%)
Upgraded the BIOS
Removed the onboard sound and added my Audigy
After those 3, stutters seem to at least have been reduced (for now),
but I'm afraid this may be something that builds up over time after my
computer's been running for awhile. Need to do more testing...
Another major problem that may be related is when accessing my optical
drives sometimes my system hangs / slows for a short while. A good
example is when I start burning a DVD with DVDShrink. When my burner
first gets started, I could be typing this email (as I was actually),
and typed a few words that didn't show up until a minute later... For
the rest of the burn it did okay though... Thoughts? Thanks,
