now whats wrong . . .

[Blackearth]

after finally getting my RAID to work (win2k installed, w98 kept f*&^ing up). i thought everything was cool and stable, so i installed my games and copied my saved games. i startup theif 2, configuring it, then i choose speaker test-blue screen with a message that said something like: irq_less_or_more-and then a restart. i tried going straight to loading the game, same thing. i get sound just fine at the menu and everything, but whenever i load a level (and this isnt just in theif either, max payne, q3, UT...)
i get a blue screen with that irq less or more message.

i can listen to my mp3's just fine, as long as i dont open anything whatsoever. there is a really bad stuttering effect when ever i open anything, weither its my computer, sysinfo, i.e. etc-even when websites load.

sys setup:
sblive
kg7-RAID

I get the same thing with daoc when I have programs running in the background.
I had no problems running the same programs and daoc with win me.
Maybe if you figure it out you can help me :)

yeah, well, this stuttering is really starting to **** me off. . .switching between windows and stuff. . .i hope i can fig ure out something soon because i really do want to play some games too. . .

Oh I dont have stuttering, I heard thats fixed by using older via busmaster drivers. 3.10 I think.
