Problem w/ DDR3 1600

[spire303]

I have 3 x 2GB sticks of Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz RAM installed in my system. I just realized my mobo was only recognizing it as DDR3 1066MHz. I fixed it in the BIOS, and rebooted thinking everything was fine. Well, I go to look at some videos at GameSpot and when I watch the videos regularly (not in full-screen) it runs perfect, however when I go full-screen, the video gets really choppy. What would cause this? The only thing I change is the DRAM frequency to 1600, should there be something else that I should change?

Ok, so I fixed the frequency issue and my RAM is now running at 1686, however I still notice some videos, not all, run choppy when ran in full-screen. What's the deal? Is video output dependent on your video card? I only have a GeForce 9400GT installed in my system right now, could that be the bottleneck? Is there some other setting in the BIOS that could be causing my video to choke up?

For some reason, I remember watching one of these same videos the other day in full-screen and it ran perfectly. I installed Illustrator and Photoshop CS3 and BitTorrent too, maybe these are the culprits?

This is driving me nuts! This system should destroy anything I throw at it!!

Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated. ;D

If you're running a bittorrent program in the background it has a bad habit of making any and all video stutter a bit

I uninstalled BitTorrent, that 'DNA' process always bothers me. I'm going to try uninstalling Photoshop and Illustrator too, maybe that'll fix it, maybe not...

Thanks tho

Hmm, well I uninstalled Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 and it seems to have remedied the problem... damn war... err :X
