Computer is stuttering.
My old HTPC, went bang, simply refused to boot from HDD or CD, so I pulled the drive and cards out and stuck them in a redundant Celeron box.
Everything was fine apart from the occasional stuttering of sound and picture. Assuming it was the over-tasked 1.7gHz Celeron, I upgraded that to a 3.2 dual core Pentium.
The processor gets 6.8 on the Windows experience scale (or whatever it is called), but I still get occasional stuttering.
What's next? More RAM?
I have 2 DDR2 slots, currently with a 2 and 1gB chip.
What are the correct steps to take to diagnose my weak point?
All help much appreciated.
