First of all computer specs:
Nvidia 6800 Ge-force 512mb video card
AMD Athlon 3500+
Sound Blaster Audigy 4
2 Gigs of DDR 3200 Ram
160GB SATA Hard Drive

latest vista drivers for major hardware

Just recently installed windows vista

When i play back any audio, it randomly slows down my music as if i were
pausing and playing really fast, or the artist is stuttering lol, this is
VERY ANNOYING. At the same time though it seems my entire computer goes
sluggish for a fraction of a second as well. Just randomly about every 5-10
seconds everything slows for a quick second and goes back to normal. What
can i do? To both help my music and my computer, the music is my main issue
:(
 
look at task manager to see what is taking up the cpu.

I don't think there is anything left to do, I installed RC1, and I stopped
some of the services, and tried to get it as fast as possible, but still
couldn't' get it as performing as Windows XP.

Then I went to the MSDN subscriber site, and I downloaded the longhorn
server from there, surprisingly it have the same build number of the Vista
RC1, but the server is classified under CTP, and they are talking there
about Beta 3 next year, and RC1 at the middle of next year.

In other words, the vista team is under heavy pressure to release something,
and they did, although they call it RC1, it is much likely CTP or beta 3.

On the server side, if you release longhorn with the stability of vista,
Microsoft will simply lose the market, so I guess it will stay in beta until
it is beter than Server 2003.

I guess it is Windows 2000 and Xp (2001) all over again, get something in
the market for the most inpatient customers, and release a better product
next year, I hope there is a better vista next year :-)
