graphics

[Michael]

Anyone have any advice on how to get rid of choppy
graphics in games? I have all the latest drivers and
patches for the games I play and for my video card and
motherboard as well. I have a 9700 pro and run xp.
Adjusting resolution and color depths do not do anything
to fix it. Is it an xp thing? Also, is downloading
direct X9b a needed thing to do. I have 9a and was just
curious.
