Hey all;
1: It's NOT a chipset problem
2: It's NOT an integrated devices problem
3: It's NOT a windows 2000 problem
4: It's NOT a swapfile size problem
Keep that in mind, as
1: I have the  exact same problem
2: I have an ASUS A7V which has the Via KT133 chipset 3: The ASUS A7V has no integrated devices
4: I run OFP under Windows ME
5: My swapfile setting is as it should be; minimum and maximum are the same; 768MB. I can't imagine needing 1 gig and I don't wanna risk running out of it with 512MB. So 768. This makes for a fixed swapfile which is unfragmented as it stays right where it is when it was created and not written across the disk as it needs to increase/decrease in size countless times
Also, I tried downloading the latest BIOS, VIA4in1 drivers. As a matter of fact, ALL drivers are the latest available now. The new drivers even caused the Promise BIOS to not detect my HDD anymore, or when it did detect it, it just switched itself off after about 1 minute!
My Win ME install is clean + DirectX 8.1 and all windowsupdate patches.
Radeon(7200) 64MB DDR o'ced to 197 mHz.
Atlhon 1 Ghz o'ced to 1,15gHz ( 105mHz x 11)
256 MB PC133 SDRAM
The stuttering as described above occurs afer playing OFP for some time, only OFP has this problem, all other applications run smooth and I never experience crashes of any kind, my machine is rock solid. The problem lies with OFP and needs to be adressed. Someone mentioned a programmer's solution to the problem, where can we find it? Browsing through 100's of topics doesn't sound very appealing honestly
Any help would be appreciated, I hope my post helped isolate the cause of the problem.
Good luck my fellow-stutterer
