What Causes the Stutters?

[Chacranajxy]

Every time I played a game regardless of age on my current computer, it would stutter every couple of seconds... well it's time to get a new computer, so this time around, what kind of hardware should I get to ensure that I don't get stutters in games? I'm not sure if it's more of a RAM issue or a video card issue, but I'd appreciate it if anyone could enlighten me as to what will make the difference.

this is what I would say/suggest...

Vid card - at least a 6XXXX Nvidia or an xXXX Ati (some can be gotten very cheap)
RAM - get at least a gig for the latest games (2 gig for BF2)
Processor - wide variant here.... At least a A64 2800+ (maybe dual core), or Intel at least 2.8ghz (with fsb to match memory)
Motherboard - take your pick


thats a very quick/brief answer....

the sluttering was probably caused by some background process, might be spyware..
