Hardware? Software? Don't know, Call of Duty 2 "hangs" or lags occasionally? thoughts..

So the other day I picked up COD2 being a fan of UO and what not..however I have this problem where occasionally the game will hang or stutter for a second or two every 7-10 minutes...

At first I thought it might be autobalance but one of my friends with a slower system doesn't complain of the issue or notice any stutter from auto balance..then I thought it might be due to a new player joining the match but it happens even when there are no new players joining.

So far as I know this is the only game that I experience this in (BF2, COD UO, Battelfield and Desert combat all play fine) and am baffeled as to what could be the cause...

My system specs are as follows:

AMD Athlon Venice 3000
Epox 9NPA+ Ultra
2gb Crucial value ram
Evga 6800 GT video card
Soundblaster Audigy ZS
80gb Western Digital SATA hard drive

Running
Windows XP
NAV
MS Anti Spywear beta

Tried disabling nav and the spywear and still getting this issue....also tried messing with virtually every video and audio setting with no improvement.

Temps seem fine on the system so I am at a loss...

Any thoughts appreciated.

This sounds like more of a software issue if this only happens in BF2. I would try reinstalling your video card drivers, and checking for any new updates for the game.
