I built my friends machine..

MSI K8N Plat.
AMD 3000+ 64
1 gig ram
dual 250gig sata.

In game enemy territory the system hangs every few minutes for about 4 seconds then resumes, when not in game its fine.. Game shows him like he has lagged out, its not his connection.

Anyone have any suggestions?

    Yea.. I tracked down the problem....

    There appears to be an issue between the Nvidia gart driver/windows xp/punkbuster on NF3 250 chipsets. I have my friend trying an older set of cat drivers, I guess from what Ive read, cat3.x through 4.1 dont have this issue. Since Cat3.8's rocked, im having him install them. If that dont work, then ill install windows 2000 on it.

    Good call Bud..

    thanks, i guess sometimes reading does work ;D thats wierd i thought there would be a patch for that cause a lot of people play ET still. maybe their slacking and waiting for the new one to come out.

    well from what I read, all sides are blaming the other, ATI says its evenbalances fault, EB says its Nvidia's fault, Nvidia says they are all crazy and should seek proper mental assistance...

    My machine did exactly the same thing with Cod on a punkbuster enabled server. Haven't found a solution yet but its offline for the moment anyway but at least I know what the problem is now.
