I have a P4 3.2 with a gig of ram and a 260 gb hdd, a radeon x300 with I think a 128 mb ram.

The system runs fine, but I've noticed that on games like Madden 96 that the system runs choppy and stutters.

Do any of you windows geniuses have any ideas, I should have plenty of horsepower.
hi cc

im running a simliar system and have absolutely no problems with vista.

only thing i would try is to upgrade the video drivers to the latest ati for vista ones, and make sure that the hardware accelleration is fully enabled and that all the direct x features are enabled too.

my system is only different because i have 2gb ram and a radeon 9800 in it - your x300 should be at least as good if not better.

I’m always amazed these sportscasters and announcers can call the game with McDavid’s **** in their mouths all the time.
