hi all,
just got a new pc base unit running XP Pro. The spec is AMD XP 2800, 512ddr ram, 120gb hard drive,
its running well apart from the multimedia side of things. For instance running itunes or winamp to play music are fine when they are the only things running however load up a couple internet explorers
or Championship Manager (soccer game, no sound, basically a big spreadsheet) the music will distort when the processor has to work, it can even pause for seconds at a time, i recntly sold my xp1600
with 512mb ram (only xp home) and had no similar problems with exactly the same programs. the
same thing happens on windows media player when playing videos, the sound will didtort and the video pause etc.
Is it codecs or software i need? or something i need to change within windows? i doubt i need
more ram buts its a possibility. Anyone got any suggestions?
thanks in advance.
