Ok, I recently swapped a Q6600 & 965P DS3 for an AMD 9550 & this board.

Dotn know why, I guess Im an AMD lover at heart, but this board is really giving me a pain in the backside now.

Whats happening is simply that I use WinAmp to play bacl my FLAC / MP3 songs and the thing occasionally drags and I mean seriously badly.

Its got 4x1GB GEIL PC6400 so RAM should be good, Im using an Audigy 2 ZS and an 8800GTX so, Audio and Video are not the onboard efforts. The Hard Drives are straight off the previous DS3 setup, and while it ran spanking without me reinstalling, I decided to reinstall just because it should be done anyway.

Im kind of at a loss really. Im doshign about with Win7 / 64Bit on it so, could it be win7?

Any ideas?
 
I found my problem.

Turned out to be the Netgear Wireless card.

This is great because I dont actualyl use Wireless, I just wanted to see if Win7 would drive it and I forgot I put it in there.

Took it out and its fine now.

Annoying and weird.
