Title: OT: system trivia (groove/programming): DOS prompt/etc and choppy sound

I had that problem.  Since I am running NT, I increased the priority of Winamp, and I no longer have that problem unless the hard drive does some significant amount of I/O.

Really?  I thought it was only because my personal pc has so little memory.   I run into that behavior with explorer and playing mp3's at the same time.  This also becomes a problem when burning a cd or changing formats, and even though I leave it alone, sometimes it ends up a bit garbled.

How much memory do you have, EP?  If I remember right you are the gamer and bought the big huge system for the pc games?
