Stuttering in games?

[sman83]

I have noticed that in WoW after being on awhile it starts to stutter a little not too noticeatible , but enough to bug me. The only way to fix this is to restart the computer. Anyone else have this problem?

P4 3.0E GHZ 800Mhz
Asus P4S800D-E Deluxe
1GB PC3200
SB Audigy 2
ATI Radeon 9550 256DDR AGP8x
120GB SATA HD
120GB IDE HD

Wow, the only time that should ever happen is if you don't have enough RAM.
What OS are you running, cause I have a little trick that might help.

EDIT: That 9550 isn't helping, either!

Running XP Home sp2
The proc is oc/d 3.0@3.3
The vid card is 250/195@ 400/200
Also I have 3 fans 2 80mm fans one on the back and one on the front. I mounted a 120mm fan on the side of the case that covers the Vid card chipset and part of the processor and its blowing cool air out atm.

hmm run it with vcore at stock speed.

I had similar issues when I o/ced my ti4200 too much and heatsink was not in good contact.

I redid the heatsink I applied Artic ceramique and stuck it back on to help with any heat, and the heatsink is cool to the touch. Just asked one of my friends playing WoW and hes having the same problem. I think it might be a WoW problem.
