My old box had this issue... when playing back a video file <format didn't matter> it would just pause the video for a moment every now and then. I considered it was the drive but the problem followed to my current drive <in diff system>
My old box..
Tbird 1.4
512 2100 mem
ati 9000pro 64meg video card.
6x dvdrom drive
40gb 7200RPM HDD.
I am soon to make it a running box again. It was running win2k with recent updates. Just a very old OS install that had been through several updates. Probably going to make it a red hat or suse install this time around on an 5gig drive.
Just wanted to get some input.
