Just spent more than a $1000 to upgrade my system to the latest hardware, with the goal of getting smooth, bug free hi-def dream machine and last night any 1080 shows were unwatchable due to regular stuttering, although the Fox football game looked ok at 720 (I think--didn't watch long before falling asleep).
Quick spin of a dvd looked jerky too.
I am very disappointed. Any suggestions would be welcome. Here is my setup:
MCE 2005 -clean install
Intel 945pvs mobo
Intel pentium d 830 (3.2g dual core)
2.0g Corsair xms 675 mhz memory
80 gig hitachi deskstar sata ii
xfx 7800gtx vga card
ati tv wonder elite
ati hdtv wonder
no sound card - using s/pdif out on mobo
all latest drivers, with latest nvidia dvd decoder set to default settings (overlay preferred/hardware acceleration enabled) over dvi to dell 24" monitor at 1080.
