Do your driving games stutter?

[b6gm6n]

I have 3 slots filled with DDRII667 1 gig sticks... 1 slot empty, I'll insert the final stick soon, i think that'll help...

Now here's a thing... i installed my 8800GTX ran the first demo and it died horribly... i had an over clocked card (610mhz/1800 mem-speed) i had to install riva-tuner to control it... or rather bring the speed down so a game would actually play...otherwise anything and everything would crash...weird, you would think this card would have run at a safe speed straight out of the box... anyways, I'm not too sure if it's anything to do with riva-tuner or my memory or my hard disk...I'm just about to install the last MOH-Airbourne Demo and see how it runs... and i bet it runs well... not constantly asking for road data like a driver would... i had Test Drive Unlimited...loved the game but the stutter would drive me crazy, it was then i researched all about riva tuner and my card etc...

The only other thing i haven't tried is my memory timings... but I'm not to up on those.
I thought about getting a new HDD a fast one and installing a game fresh onto this, see how it go's, I've seen that people can create partitions and put the swap file on one and the game on the other so the disk head doesn't have to move so much and transfers of data are faster...

Could be my FSB (front side bus) but as i say... normally games run ok...I had a thought about my AMD duel core and older games not utilizing the capabilities of this...i tried a single core fix on need for speed and it didn't make a difference...

anyways going to try this MOH demo...
