My current computer (which I'm about to replace in a month) has trouble with absolutely any game I throw at it -- even stuff running off of the quake III engine. The major problem that I encounter is stuttering. The game will continually have a brief pause where it just stops (lasts about 1/2 a second) and then it'll go back to normal again. So what is it that actually causes the stuttering in games? My guess is that it's the ghetto RAM I have or the budget 9800XT card.
