Hey,
Well, I've tried all the ideas posted and it did seem to have an effect. All problems stopped after I switched the AGP to 1X/2X in the BIOS, and I also set the virtual memory option at 400MB. Then the other day while playing against 4 bots in Q3 it did it again. Here's the kicker, since the sound was down low *I heard the system fans slow down while the graphics lag was happening.* This sounds like the system may be starved for power under heavy graphics load, but I just put in an approved 300W power supply.
Do you all think I need to go to 400W ?? The system wouldn't even start up with a 250W, and that's with everything disconnected, only RAM and CPU in.
