At some point while tweaking the bios of my KR7A I increased my 3dmark scores but introduced a minor stutter at certain points in the high detail sections of destructo monster truck, Dragothic, and Lobby. It was very smooth initially and I don't know what I changed to introduce the stutter. Anyone else see this type of phenomenon? I absolutely hate those small pauses...I'd rather run a smooth 36fps than 100fps with even one stutter...arrgghh, did I mention I hate stuttering :)

I've also noticed that frame counters don't make sense alot of the time. I run Nascar 4 and when I was running it on a V5 anything below 30fps looked 'pagey'...while with the 8500 I've seen it dip under 30fps and it remains smooth. Could someone explain that?
