Music slurred

[rico14d]

Hi,

Im making an MP3 jukebox from my old PC (AMD 300mhz), when i playback MP3s they slur when the PC is doing other things, even when i move the mouse!

The sound card is onboard the the motherboard, is this why it has such poor performance or is it just the spec of the PC.

Also, it is running win2k which is probably affecting its performance.

Will buying a dedicated sound card make this better or do i need a better cpu/system?

Thanks,
Rich

How much memory are you running? Multi-tasking takes more than just doing one thing.

I'd turn that thing into a peer-to-peer file server. Put mp3s, word documents, whatever on it and access all that from other systems. You can stream an mp3 from it to another system.

I decided to put win 98 on instead, works absolutely fine now, thanks for your replies anyway.
