Hi guys,

I have followed the steps given, which have been very helpful, but it still has not completely sorted my problem and wondering if any of you guys could help me a bit more. I have a dual core AMD X2 4400+ @ FX60 (stable) and i play a lot of UT2004 as its my favorite game, but i have a slight lag while I'm playing (it isn't because of over clocking as it's the same at stock) . I have installed the the MS hot fix and AMD optimizer and they have helped to sort the stuttering a little, but still not smooth with stuttering at certain points. I have tryed everything, including formatting my HDD quite a few times. When i do things in windows everything runs smooth and i also do a lot of video editing and that runs fine as well. Other games like quake 4, HL2, doom3 seem to run ok, but it does feel like doom 3 isn't playing as well as it should, but maybe its just my imagination LOL. My other specs are:-

A8N32-SLi Deluxe
2 gigs of rams
2 x 6600gt ( I'm getting a 8800gtx for Christmas, maybe the stuttering might go away with that )
X-FI sound card
enermax 500w
2 x 160gb maxtor and WD raptor 74gb HDD

My other hardware is fully working and i know there not broken as I've tested them all, i don't know why the patches aren't working for me as the seem to work with a lot of other people . I'm starting to think i should go back to single core but i really want to keep my X2. I never had any problems with my pc about 4 weeks ago until i upgraded my CPU. Also all drivers are the latest and i have the newest mobo bios.

Sorry for the long post, but i hope some of you guys could help me if you have any other ideas.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks for your time .
