Computer Issue.

Hi there.

I play World of Warcraft online and sometimes Dawn of War: Winter Assault online.

These games tend to chop on my computer. No matter what graphic settings I have them on. It's like 2-4 seconds where the sound will skip and when the sound skips the game pauses or chops for the duration of the sound skipping.

I tried reinstalling my video card drivers - didn't work.
I was also using onboard sound, figured that might be the problem so I bought and installed a sound card, but still problems.

Maybe it's my motherboard, I dunno. New drivers?

A friend of mine mentioned that he had this problem with his NForce 3 chipset, and tried turning down his agp aprature in his bios to 32 and that seemed to help.

My computer specs are:

LG DVD-ROM
NEC DVD+RW
Maxtor 250 Gig HD
BFG GeForce 7800 GTX
AMD ATHLON 64 x 2 4200 Dual Core Processor
DFI Lanparty Motherboard.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks =]

I have 2 Gigs of Ram.

That's what I don't get.
I can run Doom3 and Quake 4 without a problem.
No skipping from what I can tell.
I can't even run War3 without major lag issues.

And my machine is fast. Internet Connection is fine too.

In Wow it can get extremely annoying.
