In a couple of the games i've been playing lately, Auto assualt, shadowland, quake 4 etc my computer will be running along fine (or at least decently) and then it will start to lag like holy hell but the weird thing is, if i minimize the game goto the desktop and then max the game again it will be working perfectly fine again, until it happens next time and so on. Any one have any idea what could be causeing this?

Running a 128MB Radeon 9700Pro, with a AMD64 4000+ and 512MB DDR400, (hehe im in the process of upgrading the ram and video card when the money comes around) on a ASrock 939 Dual Sata2
 
That's funny in a way, because I'm used to hearing the same problem about Firefox. :)

Run some stress tests on your system. It could be that your system starts to act buggy under load, which could be a sign of troubles to come. Other than that, I'm not too sure. :) When it starts slowing down, is there alot of HDD activity? (I mean more than usual, like it's constantly paging the HDD)
