I have an old Compaq Deskpro w/ a P166/128MB/120GB running Win2K that I want to use as File Server/MP3 Player
It also has an ISA SB AWE64 card and I'm using Winamp 2 (also tried WMP).
I just did a fresh install of Win2K and only have Winamp installed on top of that.
The problem is that I'm getting some minor jitters when playing back MP3s. (I tested the same MP3 on a newer machine and had no problems)
I tried overclocking the CPU to 200Mhz and 233Mhz and it didn't seem to help. I have a 266Mhz Laptop and it seems to play them fine if I remember right.
I watched Task Manager while I played.
It never seems to reach 100% CPU usage, but whenever there is a jitter is jumps from approx 20% to 60%
I even tried putting Winamp's priority to High.
Are there any other opimizations I can make to resolve this problem?
BTW, I kinda need WA and not something else since I have a plugin to control it over my network through a nice Web interface
