When I first started playing Mp3's on my machine, it was a Pentium 166 with
80 megs of RAM. Now it's a PIII 450 with 128 m/RAM. Both machines gave me
the same problem. When I upgraded to the PIII 450, I expected the problem
to go away but it didn't.

it comes to playing Mp3's on my computer. I used to listen to them in Win98
when I was surfing the Internet and everytime I changed to a new web page,
there seemed to be a loss of 'processing power' taken away from the Mp3
player I was using (Winamp). This was causing the music to skip or come to
a halt momentarily and then start playing again. I remember that someone
else was having the same problem and had enquired about it. They had
recieved a reply that explained how Win9x wasn't able to deal with the two
tasks (web browsing and Mp3 song being played) very well and that was the
reason for the poor playback of. Anyhow, I have been listening to Mp3's
inside of Mandrake 6.1 and browsing the web without the music being
interrupted at all. I like that.:)
